Yep, fixed and will resent.

Current version of the script relies entirely on python3's standard
library; I wouldn't like to introduce 3rd party dependencies. Standard
string formatting is fine for the job imo, although I stretched the
readability to the limit :)

Actually, the point of the script is that it sends *personal* reminders 
- RRS wasn't doing that, and I'm not sure how much attention anyone paid 
to those summaries that RRS sent to yocto ML. So it's a replacement for 
both perhaps, except it doesn't have the ambition to also do the update 
work for the maintainer, but 'devtool upgrade && devtool finish' is 
arguably not more difficult than xsel|git am, followed by author reset :)
