TODO

-do the actual notifications and use some perl email module to do that.

-move all the code here to some lower level (pm modules).

-once Utils::Opts supports enum types move the free argument to an enum type...:) (that way we wouldnt have to handle the error messages here...)

-today we follow the following algorithm for notifications: gather all developers, reviewers, integrators and administrators and send them the mail about the condition changing. Could we not have a much more sophisticated scheme in the baseline whereby people will only get the mail about stuff they are interested in and in any case there will be a file in the baseline (in /data) with general policies (like develop_end going to reviewers etc...?
