[RFC] Send new ARI warnings to gdb_testers mailing list

["Pierre Muller" <muller at ics dot u-strasbg dot fr>]

  To give more echo to new ARI warnings,
I propose to automatically generate
a email to gdb-testers@sourceware.org
each time the result file
ari.source.bug changes.

The change is contained in gdbadmin/ss/update-web-ari

 I would like reactions on:

1) is this a good idea?
2) is the syntax for the non-empty file correct?
3) is gdb-testers mailing list acceptable for this change?

Pierre Muller
