[SAC] email to register bot accounts on online services ?

[Sandro Santilli]

Even better, being a _local_ account, would be to use
"git at git.osgeo.org", but I'd still like then to be able
to receive mail from there (to eventually enable email-based
services to update tickets and the like). Any major drawback
with receiving mails that way ?
