In my experience, a lot of those emails say "there was a regression caused by one of the following 100 patches", and I will have written 1 of those patches. I usually ignore those ones (though it depends on the nature of the patch). But if I get an email saying something like "there was a regression caused by one of the following 3 commits", I'll look into it.
