The objection to automatically mailing comments is that I have to code 
it up :). The reason I suggested using the wiki was because it handles 
editing and adding new ones automatically; with that in place, it 
wouldn't be too hard to gather them via a script and spit them to s-d.

Also, I don't know exactly how the subscription system works, but I 
doubt it would be hard to subscribe s-d or s-b to any given page.
