I think the complaint is about 1000+ emails, more than receiving 
any notification at all. For instance, if there were logic that 
if a user would receive more than ten emails, then there would be 
some kind of special aggregation for them such that they just get 
a single email listing all the issues, then I think that would 
resolve manu's complaint.
