Ok.  From your description I get the impression that this is one
list of email addresses, for all notifications - it is not one list
per state/substate?

In that case, there's a potential additional feature which I'm not
at all sure should be part of the wgchair tracker package, which is
to add per-state/substate notification lists.  On the other hand,
this can be handled by the more general notification infrastructure
which I hope to have someone build over the summer.

One example where this kind of state-specific notification could be
appropriate is when a document enters "Awaiting MIB Review" - then
a message should go to the person who dispatches MIB reviews; but he
should not get notifications of all state transitions for all MIB
documents, before and after the MIB review point.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing your feedback on the documents.
The most recent versions are available at

- I've done some updates after the -00 versions, based on other
comments received.

Best,

	Henrik
