RE: Format for 1.11.10's contrib's loginfo, used by log_accum com mit

Larry, Larry, Larry,...  Trust me. If you've never encountered constructs like 
@_, my, local($wd, @files); scalars, arrays... (and btw, 'local' is not local, 
'my' is local...how cute), reading it is doable but tediously slow.  I'm 
reminded of a friend's admonition in college.  He said: "Physics is easy, once 
you know it."

I've tried that and when I commit, I get the following messages:

   Processing log script arguments...
   Mailing the commit message to (from address@hidden)
   No recipient addresses found in header

which I guess means that $mail_to and its progenitor $addr_list in the 
<mail_notification> subroutine are not being set properly....but no hints as to 
how to format those email addresses into loginfo...

General question: Is it really expected that EVERYONE that wants to set up and 
use these contrib scripts have to read them, understand them and retro-engineer 
the inputs?
