Barring excessive cpu usage, I would run as often as possible. Why not
catch a broken dependencies as soon as possible (assuming the script has
access to the just built plague repository). Some caveats follow.

I vote for just the list of packages per repository. No email addresses.
Not broken down by email address. Just the package names. The summary
should only be posted about once a day though - probably after FE pushes.

Just once per N-V-R.
