Indeed, and those are infrequent enough that they're noticable.

It's not just the autoselects, you get one batch of mails for AUTOSEL if
the patches were picked up that way, then another batch of mails when
the patches are added to a queue then yet another when the stable -rc
goes out for testing.  Possibly more that I'm forgetting, and each of
those is per version.  Now you mention it there's some redundancy there
too...
