I think there should be just one mail per maintainer mail address, not per 
package. The notification mail should provide a link to a page, that shows all 
packages maintained by this user (mail address). Every checkbox should be 
unchecked by default whether there is activity in the repo or not. This way, 
the maintainers wouldn't get annoyed by hackage mail spam and to check a 
couple of checkboxes just takes a few minutes.
