Big +1 from me too for such change.
If anyone wants to help code this, I think the way to do it is to implement
an events queue in pkgdb. With the queue we can do two things -- first,
have the pkgdb send nagmail when an acl request has not been answered.
second have the pkgdb batch status messages when many requests are done at
the same time.
