The autoremoval warnings are pretty helpful in general but if I'm forced to mass
remove this subject from my mailbox I might loose other sensible autoremoval
warnings.

In general, it's massively spamming me, just it should be spamming you as well (well, anyone maintaining a large amount of packages).

I recieved 536 mails (2 days ago)...

IMO, if nobody has time to do it, the person who designed the tool should take care of fixing it. Instead of sending 536 mail, it should be sending a single mail with 536 entries in it... And it's not the first time I'm writing this.
