First, thanks to everyone for working on this.
I've been slowly working through the list and am quite thankful for
its existence.
(I've also been filing bugs directly to plh on minor items involved in
how the notifier formats emails.)

The only other request I have is some way that would be Gmail
compatible to recognize when a review request has been obsoleted. That
way when I have a message which is planned, I can know if I need to
change its priority (either plus or minus). This is actually fairly
easy to do in theory:

1. Keep track of the last review request email (subject, messageid,
archiveurl) for a given document.
2. After sending a new review request for the same document, "reply"
to the previous email w/ a pointer to the newer request (include the
new subject in the body along w/ the lists.w3.org url and the
messageid as a followup record??).

I can imagine that such emails could annoy people, so, there are a few
things that could help:
1. they shouldn't be sent from the same sender as the normal notifier
(so people could filter them out -- obsolete-notifier@).
2. it could probably be sent to a second mailing list, so people would
subscribe to public-review-obsoleted@ or something. As long as the
obsolete-notifier@ is replying to the right email w/ the proper
subject, Gmail should tolerate the crossing of lists behavior (and I'd
imagine most other mail software would too).
