Okay, so after all that work I did on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11675 , we were able to get the duplicate messages on the notifications list to stop, which came from comments on GitHub pull requests which also triggered emails about comments from JIRA.
However, it now appears that watchers are still getting these. While JIRA is not sending notifications to the mailing list, it is sending it to watchers, reporters, and assignees. I believe the relevant setting is "Work Logged On Issue": https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/project-config/ACCUMULO/notifications I think this is a recent thing. I don't recall ever getting extra emails about work being logged on issues I was watching before. Was this related to the switch from the Hadoop permissions model to the default permissions model as part of the JIRA mitigation? Who can even edit these notification settings normally? Is that an INFRA-only thing? Is there any way we can get more control over configuring these notifications? I'd think the PMC should probably be able to do some self-service here, but as far as I can tell, it's pretty locked down, and it's actually getting pretty annoying. If we can't get a handle on these notifications, I have two options left: 1. We switch to "linkonly" instead of "worklog" (see INFRA-11675) for GitHub PR integration. 2. I get better at filtering my email. #1 makes me sad, because I like seeing the PR activity in the timeline with the comments on the "All" tab in JIRA. #2 doesn't solve anything for anybody else
