This sounds like a workable and fairly low-effort approach to me which
would bring lots of direct benefits.  So +1, full support.

(I do see some resistance in the form "but, but, what about the other
databases?" - yes, we need to clean up cross-registry and all that, but
cleaning up our own backyard right away without having to wait for 
the global solution is GOOD)

I'm a bit more careful about that one, though - in principle, yes, but
"one week" is a bit harsh here, so I'd go for multiple reminders and 
a longer time.  This is a different case than "I have just added this
object and it is now showing up (with an appropriate message by the
DB robot), so let's just check my mail until the reminder appears!".

(NB: did you intentionally not copy db-wg?)
