Ok, thanks.

One related request in case someone who can do something about is listening: 

Could the subject of the commit messages include information about the 
project/repository things were committed in?  Currently they look like 
"commit: $description" but it'd be easier to spot messages related to 
projects/repos one's interested in if they looked for example like "$project 
commit: $description", e.g. instead of "commit: restricted validation to 
public IP", say "unicorn commit: restricted validation to public IP"
