Hi all, I'd like to propose appending the following two footers to messages sent to the user@ and
dev@ lists. The proposed postscript including line breaks is between the "XXXXX" blocks
below. User List Footer: XXXXX --- Unsubscribe: Send a blank email to
user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org . Do not reply to this message. Cassandra Community: Follow
other mailing lists or join us in Slack: https://cassandra.apache.org/_/community.html XXXXX Dev
List Footer: XXXXX --- Unsubscribe: Send a blank email to dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org . Do
not reply to this message. Cassandra Community: Follow other mailing lists or join us in Slack:
https://cassandra.apache.org/_/community.html XXXXX Offering this proposal for three reasons: –
Many users are sending "Unsubscribe" messages to the full mailing list which prompts
others to wish to unsubscribe – a negative cascade that affects the size of our user community. –
Many users don't know where to go to figure out how to unsubscribe, especially if they'd joined
many years ago. – Nearly all mailing lists provide a one-click mechanism for unsubscribing or
built-in mail client integration to do so via message headers. Including compact instructions on
how to leave is valuable to subscribers. #asfinfra indicates that such footers can be appended
given project consensus and an INFRA- ticket:

message footer, I'll file an INFRA ticket with a link to this thread. Thanks, – Scott
