Here's my proposal: * Create new mailing list j...@arrow.apache.org and move all JIRA activity to that list (what currently goes to issues@) * Send new issues notifications to issues@arrow.a.o. Stop sending these e-mails to dev@ * Encourage dev@ subscribers to subscribe to issues@arrow.a.o
Absent dissent I would suggest going ahead and asking INFRA to do this. Note that any PMC member can create the new jira@ mailing list (do this first, don't ask INFRA to do it) On Mon, Jun 8, 2020 at 2:33 PM Wes McKinney <wesmck...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm openly not very sympathetic toward people who don't take time to > set up e-mail filters but I support having two e-mail lists: > > * One having new issues only.
