Re: Please redirect automated GitBox emails to different list

Does it really make sense to use the same list for development discussions amongst the ComDev community, and discussions with the general public? At present this single list is acting as both developer and user list. [Many projects would also have commits, issues and notifications lists] It may n

Great discussion, everybody! Here's some thoughts in response to some of the questions/concerns raised: People should *not* have to subscribe to the other list in order to participate in discussions. It should just be for automated notices. The best practice is, like commits@, have it moderated an

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 abou

I have rather hard as a mentor in the Incubator now that all new projects use GitHub. Much development discussion is driven away from dev@project mailing lists and occurs in issues(if enabled) and PRs. comdev-site: https://github.com/apache/comdev-site/blob/master/.asf.yaml notifications: com

I don't think asking for a new mailing list for GitHub notifications is unreasonable. In fact, I would go as far to say that having a GitHub notifications mailing list makes more sense than having those notifications being sent to the "dev" mailing list. Shouldn't the dev mailing list be used for

If I had a dollar for every time I've been on a list with this discussion or a variant thereof... I wouldn't be rich, but I could probably buy myself a really spiffy NVME drive or something. FWIW I think the better approach is to filter rather than shunt the commits to a different list. I don't fe

May I be the contrary voice and ask why? Why do we not want to know what's being committed in our name? It's not like this list gets a lot of traffic, and those very emails that you want to banish to another list were what reminded me that we have PRs that have been languishing for several mont
