That would be cool -- added to my TODO list.

Although, with that mode, you would still have to add descriptions  
manually if you want them, since I don't think bazaar supports a

That would be cool too, though it gets into logins & user accounts,  
which I was hoping to avoid.

I agree with the later post that said this is probably better left to  
special email-on-commit scripts.
