I am not subscribed to any beam lists myself, but in my position as a staffer 
at the Apache Software Foundation I do see that those updates generate a lot of 
emails and events for seemingly no reason, hence my ask. 

By essentially flooding the list with what looks like non-actionable noise, 
there is a risk of adding an unnecessarily higher bar to participation and 
reviewing that perhaps should be avoided if possible.

With regards,
Daniel.
