A crontab on core.tcl.tk( /home/ferrieux/bin/crontab4commitbot ) polls
the Fossil RSS and sends a structured e-mail to CIA, which formerly
was piping it back to the Chat through IRC (not today; cia.vc is
down).
Assuming this e-mail contained the information you're after
(Committer, branch, comment, changeset), it would be trivial to make
it also send it to a list.
(A separate list exploder would save some bandwidth on core; do you
have a candidate ?)
