Hi All, Back in 2016 it was decided that notifications go to the separate mailing list [email protected]. See [1]. And looking at latest numbers reported regarding subscriptions to our mailing lists, we have:
- user@: 926 - dev@: 574 - commits@: 218 - notifications@: 78 The numbers regarding user@, dev@ and notifications@ are from 2018-06-20, and the number regarding notifications@ is from 2018-03-20, see [2]. The numbers indicate that about 14% of our contributor potential subscribed to the dev@ sees these notifications about bugs and improvements, and less than 9% of our greater community (subscribed to user@) are reached. And when we factor in the impact of PMC members and committers (I can only guess how many of those have subscribed) on notifications@) the ratios are even worse. The effect of the low number of subscriptions to notifications@ is that we don't reach our potential and that we don't see the input of dev@ and user@ subscribers, leading to an overload of those working tickets. Did we take a wrong turn back in 2016? And should we not revert the resolution of the vote to have notifications go back to dev@ to get more contributions (potentially leading to more - active - committers that share and lessen the work load? What do you think?
