I used the Perl MIME modules for this; see
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bwh/linux-3.2.y-queue.git/tree/scripts/review>.
It would be great if all the stable maintainers could share a common set
of scripts and benefit from each others' improvements. I took you
scripts as a starting point, but they had many dependencies on your
environment and other scripts (not all of which I could find). Mine are
a little more reusable but still have too many specifics in the code
rather than as configuration and I never implemented added/failed
notifications.
Ben.
