And the situation is quite unlikely in RTEMS core. But we should be aware of the possibility before enabling such an option. The alternative could be to have a whitelist that is automatically updated by every mail that is sent to the mailing lists. But that would require buildbot to support a whitelist and it would require a script to get the first "From" header for each mail on the list. Thanks for all your hard work with buildbot and similar infrastructure.
