I may have misunderstood the intent of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DI-30. If there is a need to create an alias for all committers, that could be easily constructed. Bitergia would send a single email to our infrastructure, and our infrastructure would be forwarded to each id on the list. If such an alias were created, it should either be set up to only allow emails from known Bitergia emails, and the alias should be taken down when not in use, as it would be a vector for spam. - Sam Ruby > Regards, > KAM > > On 11/2/2019 5:53 AM, Justin Mclean wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I would also be uncomfortable in creating a list of people to email and > > making that available even internally.
