Yes, that was due to trac I wrote a plugin that will strictly only email members 
of our trac instance.  It was due to the git ticket updater putting his name 
directly as a 'commenter' on the ticket via the database.  Then when the ticket 
was updated he was getting emails.

I'll look into it to make sure nothing has changed in regards to this but it's 
possible that Buildbot could email anyone in the Author list if the patches were 
pulled out directly from a repository.
