The Kafka development mailing list can be a lot to keep up with. To cope, I have created a few filters to separate the most important communication from the noise. I have found using just a few filters help a lot. Below are my most reliable Gmail filters (they should be able to map to other email clients too):
*Kafka Builds:* Matches: from:(jenk...@builds.apache.org) list:"dev.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Mark as read, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Builds" *Kafka Pull Requests:* Matches: from:(g...@git.apache.org) list:"dev.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Pull Requests" *Kafka Jiras:* Matches: from:(j...@apache.org) list:"dev.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Jira" *Kafka Dev*: Now this is just the discussions. No builds, pull requests, or jiras Matches: from:(!jenk...@builds.apache.org AND !g...@git.apache.org AND ! j...@apache.org) list:"dev.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Dev" *Kafka User:* Matches: list:"users.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Users" *Kafka Commits:* Matches: list:"commits.kafka.apache.org" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "Kafka/Kafka Commits" If you have any other filters or strategies to keep up, please don't hesitate to share.
