That sounds good to me, but I think we should keep the existing subjects,
only adding the team on which the change was performed. These subjects are
small because we want to use the From:/Subject: headers to convey the most
interesting bits of information without having them too long as that'd cause
mailers in most standard screen resolutions to cut some parts of the
subject. IIRC, the rationale for that is that most team administrators are
very busy and must be able to see at a glance what the change is about
--without having to read the whole email.
