The old behavior was that the e-mail specified with -m option was the
address for the list for that language. I think your suggestion is
better.

I can take most of the comments here since it's related to the above:
1) I want to run the script and only get e-mail about files I'm the
maintainer for. (I don't want the cron job to send e-mail for pages
that have no maintainer.) Maybe allow the -m with no argument?
2) Sometimes I also want an e-mail for all pages needing an update no
matter if they are maintained or not, and I don't want the maintainers
to get any e-mail. I guess -g will stop the maintainers from getting
anything, but -m 'myaddress' will skip the maintained pages. Add
option -mm?
3) Don't require us to add the frequency unless an e-mail adress is
given on the command line, since that info is in the translator db.
I think that was it.

PS! One more: The Invocation instruction still has "[-c charset]".
