When a patch with a Change-Id corresponding to an open Gerrit change is manually
pushed to the binutils-gdb git repo, Gerrit notices it and that automatically
creates a new version of the change, reflecting what was actually pushed. That
sends a mail of type "new patchset version". It then changes the state to
"Closed", which sends another email.
When I'm not subscribed to a particular change (because I'm not a reviewer or in
the CC list), I receive these two emails from the list. When I am subscribed to
a change, I receive these two emails twice (once through the list and once
directly to my email), for a total of 4.
I don't know why you have 3 messages for this change, this is an odd number, and
you are not subscribed to it either...
