[PATCH] [RFC] Don't aim to have patchwork send email

Getting things like SPF and DKIM right for this would be nigh-on
impossible, plus it would mean sysadmins would have to let patchwork
send email, which is a risk to the reputation of their systems.

Let's just aim for being a read-only representation of the mailing
list for now.
