Summary
When multiple dynamic pipelines fail, the pusher gets a possibly large amount of e-mails for a single push.
Steps to reproduce
- generate many dependent pipelines and make them fail
- commit and push
- watch your mailbox
Also happens if you restart such a pipeline.

What is the current bug behavior?
Every single dynamic pipeline delivers a single e-mail and there is no configuration knob to change this.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Send one e-mail per pushed commit (join all the dependent failures back into the primary failing pipeline), or at least allow configuring such behavior
