Two or three people said so.
We had an average of 400 messages per
month in 2014,
Between 2014-10-21 and now, the count of messages addressed to one of
the
"commons" lists is 4387, that is an average of about 50 per day (1500
per
month).
that's on par with maven-dev, half of tomcat-dev and 1/7
of lucene-dev.
The problem is not primarily "dev", it is that some people simply
cannot
spend even more time to cater for all the Commons projects; yet we
receive
all the notifications.
It's basic care for others' comfort to fix this at the source.
Is it so difficult to understand that I don't want to be flooded with
notifications of commits to a codebase which I don't contribute to?
It's also significantly below where Commons used to be when we had a
*lot* more active committers and contributors.
So it can be worse. That's very comforting indeed.

I don't think splitting the list by component is a good idea
though,
this will kill the community (the 'all' list is unlikely to be
popular).
+1
+1 and lets maybe cut the threads like this (self-referential) one ;)
