HI Christofer, Thanks for the suggestion. We were in the middle of a release, but thank you VERY much for this suggestion. I know all of us are probably overwhelmed with the number of emails we get, so any way to organize and/or reduce that is greatly appreciated. I submitted a pull request for this change. (https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/2764) Personally, I'd love to disable the gitbox emails as well. Those are completely useless and merely duplicate what I already get from github.
