Comment (by rayalan):

 So this could be as straight-forward as having the scheduler write a
 property ("schedulertype") to the buildset, and then having the mail
 notifier read that property and notify `if "force' in self.mode and
 schedulertype == 'forced'`.

 However, that approach seems a bit niche. Is there need for a more
 flexible solution? For example, a more flexible solution would be to make
 the mode `schedulerdependent`, pass in a function to determine which
 schedulertypes were dependent, and give each scheduler a type. The
 decision code would then be something like:

 ```
 if "schedulerdependent" in self.mode and
 self.isSchedulerSignificant(build.getProperty('schedulertype')):
    return True
 ```
