Perhaps something like the update below to the mm-commits@ notification

"Hooray, I'm done!" instead of "Ok, now more review might be inbound
because Andrew has put this patch on his radar, but I am not done until
this hits mm-stable".

...otherwise, documentation like that would be good fodder for a mm
"maintainer profile" [1].
