I was actually going to suggest something along those lines post
transition, since Hg will have an email address for everyone - leave
push notifications coming from the bot (so existing filters based on
the bot address keep working), but include the push author in the
reply-to field.

Given its limited remaining lifespan, I don't see any point in messing
with the current SVN setup though.

Cheers,
