I agree with kiko here, the first step isn't to hide the errors, it to
make them visible elsewhere. There should probably be some UI for
displaying all the errors, so that users can fix them manually, but
that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Stuart, if you think that the script produces too much output, maybe you
could move it out from nightly.sh and run it separately? That way you
can create a new mailman topic for it, so that people interested in the
output can subscribe to it, and the rest don't have to see it. I would
actually like that, since there are two other scripts in nightly.sh that
time from time produce way more output than the bug watches script.
