i'm aware of this.  Zach was debating migrating, but until then, seemed
better to park it as such.  no one would be looking at them from any other

i was not aware of this default behavior.  what can we do to suppress the
notifications ?  can we set the maintainer address to /dev/null for a few
known packages like autoconf & libtool ?
