FWIW, I was following puppet-dev before the move to github, but unsubscribed because of the level of noise it generated.
I'm not a skilled ruby dev, but I like to follow discussions around some modifications, especially if I see something around an issue I'm watching on redmine. not a suggestion for a change, but mostly a grain of salt about how others do this: I really like how things are done in the git mailing list. patches are sent there and reviewed and possibly accepted or not there, too. support requests also go into the same list, and since all the developers and users are already there, they can answer to users and sometimes, if it turns out to be a bug, the discussion morphs into a patch submission. if people don't like the quantity of e-mails that go there, they can very well send a message to the list even though they're not subscribed to the it and the default policy is to "reply-all" so that people outside the list can receive responses. but changes pushed to the official repository aren't sent to the list. they're sent to the #git-devel irc channel as notices from the bot.
