 > Please note that we might want to send the email to two people: author
 and committer of the patch. When someone approves the patch that's
 suboptimal, the one who pushes the changes should be notified as well.

 We can only have one sender address. I would not want to put people on CC
 and send them unnecessary notifications and Reply-To is already taken by
 the `macports-dev` address.

 Replying to [comment:8 neverpanic]:
 > Yes, it's not ideal, but it's as good as we can get without publishing
 data that we don't have a mandate to publish.

 If that person's domain has a DMARC record that requires DKIM signatures,
 recipients could reject the email as being spoofed. This was no problem
 previously as we always used `@macports.org` where we have control over
 its policies. The `dmarc_moderation_action` on mailman would probably
 transform the From automatically in this case, but it needs testing.

 We should continue the separate discussion whether `port(1)` needs this
 mapping on the mailing list.
