Email notifications should allow easy skimming/parsing by humans; duplicate information makes it harder to find the meat.

The summary is currently repeated three times: in the summary of the email, and then two more times in the body. It should be removed completely (or at very least once) from the body message.

Example from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.cvs/162701 :

Subject: [Gerrit] Add a full stop to error message - change (mediawiki...RSS)
