This sounds OK to me, and since it's done, why not add it as an optional
setup method.

Personally, my cron job runs every 2 minutes, which is a lot less than the
delay caused my my company's use of Notes Mail (don't ask). Also, doesn't
gnats v4 gnatsd accept new PRs directly? For users of v4 front ends, they
would get immediate feedback directly from gnatsd.

Still, your addition seems to round out the possibilities.
