I've been procmail'ing old_testing_critpath mail to /dev/null for some
time. It makes no sense to be nagging the one person who cannot, by
definition, provide independent testing of the package. Therefore, they
are useless and not worthy of my time. Auto nagmail to proventesters
might be of some value, but not to the package maintainer.

I didn't want to mention that I was thinking of doing the same thing. I
thought in the context of this it would sound more like a threat, when
in truth it's just the reasonable thing to do given the current
situation of being nagged about something I can do nothing about.
I will say though that someone triggered an approval on my package after
I sent the original email, so at least that was helpful.
