I've only played MailNotifiers in the context of SVN, so what follows is all conjecture.

Can you set up several SingleBranchSchedulers with full email addresses in the 'owner' properties per branch/scheduler, then use a function in the MailNotifier's lookup argument to somehow remove the addresses coming from the commits? I could see this working if you tagged the owner address with something odd like a double '@' (or something else that wouldn't appear in a commit's email address), then stripped that out in the lookup function. This assumes that there is a valid null email address that you can return in place of the committer's email address.
