These are used, it's just that they are usually send directly to the
coordination robot at <l10n@famdijkstra.org>, and not to the list.
They do show up at dutch.debian.net (our statuspage) though.

I personally prefer not flooding the mailing list with BTS messages, but
sending those directly to the robot instead. (off course if we decide
otherwise, a filter is set easily enough)

I don't see it as a necessity (as we have the above mentioned status page
doing more or less the same), but I wouldn't mind either.

1. Encrypted mail preferred (GPG KeyID: 0x86624ABB)
2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
