Great, thank you Jan for the pointers and context! The INFRA tickets you mentioned and their GitBox component labelling led me to discover https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15296 entitled "Github comments not going to mailing lists" i.e. a JIRA already exists.

I think you may find the answer here :) https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet/blob/a66ec4204550ef9cbc89ef65e7cec3f35f39a07a/modules/gitbox/files/cgi-bin/issues.cgi#L358-L361 I made some contributions to that code in INFRA-19263 so I know that the handling of the GH callbacks is very basic… It also is quite stupid in how it handles PR reviews, so I opened INFRA-19297 for that. Feel free to open a JIRA for the commit comments as well. I know INFRA is planning to deprecate the issues.cgi script and implement a more intelligent system with all callbacks being put on a queue and then processed by some workers, but I’m not sure where they are in that effort. Just in case you should feel like writing some code, you should check with them first if issues.cgi is going away tomorrow :) Jan 5. mar. 2020 kl. 15:57 skrev Christine Poerschke (BLOOMBERG/ LONDON) <[email protected]>: Hello everyone. Yesterday I realised that comments on github.com/apache/lucene-solr commits are possible -- e.g. https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/commit/def6816f48598ce8e8757239b98969b5e18b21af#diff-755a6c65165611aab0efa0a8e9ff0ac9 -- but are not forwarded to any of our lists it seems? Might this be (a) by omission i.e. we never set it up and/or (b) by choice i.e. it was considered and deliberately not set up and/or (c) due to technical limitations i.e. it was/is not possible to forward and/or (d) some other reason(s)? Does anyone recall? (I haven't yet dug through the github integration email threads past.) Thanks, Christine
