Not sure how useful it is.
I have received 25 emails so far in today's ping (and they keep coming).
Some of them because I am assignee, some because I am reporter, some I am in CC.
I probably need to take action on few of them but I currently don't
have time to check which ones so it is likely that I will end up
ignoring them all...
