I agree it's good to have Github stuff archived on Apache-owned domains, I just think that the list gets overwhelmed with garbage that most people are just deleting. I mean, I like the idea of skimming through commits, but today I am waking up to over 100 emails, and I have to pick out the auto-generated emails that I don't have time to read from the important ones. If most people are just saving things to a separate folder, that they are never going to read, isn't it better to turn off those auto-emails?
Why not use a separate list like git@ or archive@ for such posts? Then it's there for people to search, but no one has to wade through it. > On May 26, 2016, at 12:45 AM, Lewis John Mcgibbney > <lewis.mcgibb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Matt, > > As Henry said.
