I believe the CIAbot, i.e. the script doing the notification mail got disabled 
after the attack on SF and subsequent cleanup.

... Going back into their blog (https://sourceforge.net/blog/) the relevant 
block of text, as of Feb 10 is

	===============================================================
	CVS is back online (rsync, pserver, SSH and ViewVC), with a few
	caveats:
xx	- adminrepo via the Interactive Shell is temporarily offline
**	- due to a reduced number of installed libraries, some hook scripts
	may not function properly
**	- outbound email is not functional, so any script utilizing this will
	fail. If you need to send outbound email, a workaround would be to use
	curl and and external site or Project Web to send the email.
	===============================================================

The last two points (**) are the most relevant.
This is something I am (likely) not able to fix.

This is the last information they gave on this topic, i.e. I would believe that 
this situation regarding commit notifications is persisting.

Point (xx) I have just confirmed by logging into their shell.
