Greg, I agree with your comments in full. In addition I dont see much value in having github and jira notifications channelled through the dev list as I can just use those tools for notifications if I am really interested in seeing update to them.
Being bombarded with their notifications through the dev lists de-values the dev list for me. Keith.
