### Problem to solve Send a report on failure or succeed of a build to active users of the repository only. ### Intended users The DevOps Engineer who sets up gitlab-ci.yml files. ### Further details Running post-build quality checks and sending the resulting report to users via email creates _massive_ email if send blindly. Every time a branch is made, more email is send. By offering a way to find out the active users of a branch you could inform only relevant users. ### Proposal An API to query the recently active users of (commiters to) a branch could work. sortof like https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html with the 'since' attribute, except that the 'committer_email' would be the only interesting field and should be made unique to prevent duplicate emails. This would be an API-only feature, not visible in the UI. ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? Beging able to get a link of email-addresses of active committers since N days from inside the gitlab-ci.yml ### Links / references * <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html>
