I've had people on IRC comment "I didn't realize there was so much activity on the core" regarding the emails. And the squeaksourcebot showing off the 50-150 commits a day to squeaksource in general is also good to show that there are as many packages being uploaded to Squeaksource every day as there are Perl CPAN modules, which we've often held as a sign that Perl activity is alive and well.
I agree that while we'll probably want to dial it back eventually, it's good for now that we start raising visibility in the short term.
