I still wonder whether having this mail go out every two hours helps even a 
tiny bit to address this "collective failure" as you call it.

At least, I´d be more annoyed than willing to fix anything if I am reminded 
like that, especially when the reminder comes in a time, where other things 
are more pressing to me.

Anyway, my KMail is configured to mark all of these mails as read and 
threading view will nicely collapse them then. But if I were a developer 
contributing regularily this filtering would not be in line with the intended 
intention of the mail flooding. But still, I think even then I would handle 
it that way as long as these mails come every two hours. Or as I see 
sometimes even more often.

So while I personally have not much of an issue with these mails due to my 
filtering setup, I question the usefulness of them in that high frequency. I 
think they serve nothing to motivate people to fix things and rather just 
create annoyance.

So how about once daily and just when it flaps?

Of course, if you desire to be annoyed like that, its all your choice. I 
will continue to have Akonadi mark them as read automatically.
