I have plenty of commits on the Slony Git repo, which has had clones at github for about as long as PostgreSQL has. And I don't get any noticeable amounts of spam at github. Not all notifications are hugely interesting, but I don't see anything that's not reasonably related to things I have commented on. So I think there has to be some other effect in play. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?" -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
