First, I feel like I have to respond given the Truman State University sig. It's rare I run into other Truman grads in the wild, though we wouldn't have crossed paths on campus... (1998 grad here...)
If the PRs appear here on this list, it makes it slightly easier to have a discussion on list about the PRs. It also doesn't require people to go upstream to subscribe to github or a second list. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "unreasonable" to have a second list, I just am not convinced it's desirable. As to the suggestion to discussing the PRs on the other list - then we have to ask people to subscribe to both or miss some of the conversations about the site development. Creating a filter for the GitBox notices + subscribing to a new list are both about the same amount of work. If you filter by sender or something like that you still can see discussions here if anybody decides to go deeper on a specific commit. If you have to track both lists, then that means a subset of the community is not going to see those discussions either. (Either by omission or they just filter everything and then see something six months later... ask me how I know...)
