I've done this now, and we have some test notification scripts sending mail to testlist.  
You can see how this looks at https://lists.samba.org/archive/testlist/2015-September/thread.html
It needs a lot of work to be really nice, but it is a start.  Pull
request on https://github.com/abartlet/gh-mailinglist-notifications are
very, very welcome.
I'm also trying to get another tool working:
https://github.com/abartlet/pull-request-mailer
This will post patches to the list, but for now it times out trying to
clone the samba repo, so needs some love.
Thanks,
