Git and Jira already have text in the subject that you could filter on. Personally I am -0.5 on the idea of doing away with commits@. First, it will never go away, all of that history in the list will have to be preserved for posterity. Second, it's something of a design pattern at the ASF - virtually every project has commits@ and it's almost an expectation. There are also many places that assume a commits@ exist. --David
