Well, commits are an order of magnitude higher in volume than bamboo 
messages, so for that reason it makes sense to have its own list, I guess.

Testing is a critical part of our software development life cycle.  The 
same goes for peer code reviews which are also all included on this 
list.  I absolutely do not want this stuff out of sight (and thus out of 
mind for the majority).  I want to make it as visible as possible, and 
encourage participation.  Having reviewboard traffic come to this list 
has significantly increased participation there.

If the code never breaks, and the test infrastructure works, the bamboo 
messages will never come to this list.  If messages hit the list, that 
means things are broken, and participation is encouraged from anyone and 
everyone to help improve that situation.  Let's work together to make 
Asterisk better, and sometimes that involves having failures shoved in 
our faces.  :-)
