Why? If I report a bug, I'm interested in this bug, and I don't want
to receive dozens of emails every day about other issues.
The reason for the modern configuration is spam. Allowing only
subscribers to post drastically reduces the spam, even if no
other anti-spam measures are implemented.
Also the sourceware.org configuration tries to eliminate subscriber email
addresses to reduce thier spam.
For instance, GNU Mailman (a very popular mailing list manager) has
the feature that posts from non-subscribers can be held for
moderation.
Sourceware now uses mailman, and most/all? projects are volunteer, with time to
skim posts or do useful work, and nobody wants to moderate.
Every time you report a bug to a project on github/jira/whatever, you
subscribe to everything in this project?
Without creating a github account, how do you do anything of that
sort on github?
I think he means you don't always see everything if you report a bug on a GH
project.
