One of my favorite ways to make sense of busy mailing lists is to require subject line [tags] for everything. Rich Bowen recently pointed me to OpenStack dev list which does exactly that, http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-June/thread.html This paves the way for improved mail clients or plugins which can make good use of that, without requiring complicated new tools and while preserving the ubiquity of email which is *very* important in the Apache model, IMO. One thing that remains is the need for people to quote in a sane way, spending a big more energy on their side to save the energy of lots of people reading the result. I understand some email clients are terrible at that but I'm not sure if it's a valid excuse for our frequent top-quoted messes. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
