Perhaps I will give a better example. I occasionally have a need to interact with the subversion project (increasingly rare, but it happens). If I am not subscribed to the mailing list I may not see all replies. If I am not subscribed then my mail search is constrained, I have to jump about across markmail, and the really crappy apache mail archives UI... perhaps trying to search nabble or via google... when actually the issue I am seeing is one that others have seen and just isn't indexed by the search engines. So I am subscribed to the subversion mailing list. Not because I pay attention to the project... but because I have an occasional need to dip in and out. What I would like is a web based newsgroup reader for subversion that allows me to flag specific topics (and auto flags topics i respond to) and then redirects those to my email client so that I can dip in when I want and get pushed the responses. All the web based tooling such as forums tends to do one of two things: 1. Require me to pull updates 2. Push notifications but require me to return to reply. Now Github has gotten this right for commits, pull requests and issues... but a lot of the *community* stuff is not just commits pull requests and issues. But at least Github lets me be pushed notifications *that I can reply by email to*. And if I comment on something then Github will auto-subscribe me to that specific (pull request, commit, or issue) I want that flexibility for the community stuff too. > > but mail is good enough for me...
