I believe it is somewhere else because a "grep -Ri broken *" on a cloned 
repository did not show the "Broken dependencies" subject that the mails 
should have. I want to suggest to add a check whether or not the amount of 
broken packages is sane, e.g. up to 100. And in case it is not, the script 
could add a note to the mail sent to fedora-devel and maybe releng or whover 
would have to take a look then or only skip the individual reports.
