We definitely _can_ hack on it to better fit community needs. Changes might not automatically get accepted, but we've got a good relationship and I don't expect any kind of antagonism if we have something important. On 2) https://discourse.cmake.org/t/cmake-discourse-mailing-list-mode-incorrectly-personally-addresses-all-email/738 in particular... that's just the Cmake forum admin saying that the particular thing doesn't exist, not a Discourse dev saying they won't take a change. Although on that specific change.... Discourse attaches List-Id and other standard email headers (as well as some specific X-Discourse headers) to each message. Changing the To: line to be some list address could be done with a plugin, but might actually have negative consequences for reliable delivery. > Email clients offer significant customizability that a one size fits all > web interface cannot provide.

This is kind of like going to Hyperkitty and saying "subscribe me to all 600 lists". I don't recommend that. Instead, choose specific tags that you want to subscribe to, just as you would subscribe to individual mailing lists.
