Hi Justin,
I would say we all understand the argument. We do not agree with how the
problem is solved.
Why are we making everyone drink from the fire hose?
Please help make this work for everyone. Clearly, from the responses, it is
not.
How about we make multiple lists and arrogate them to top level list and
then to an 'all' list?
Like:
Make a list 'all' aggregate all the email;
Make a list dev just have dev email
Make a list github-dev just have github PR, issue email
Make a list gitbox-dev just have gitbox PR issue email
Make a list commits just have commit email
Make a list github-commits just have github commits issue email
Make a list gitbox-commits...
Make xys-dev just have xyz email
Make a list issues just have issues email
Make a list github-issues just have github issues email
Make a list gitbox- issues just have gitbox issues email
Then let the people choose. They can start at 'all' and throttle back to a
set that helps them, not drowns them.
That a win-win. ASF get is metrics and the rest of get to "get to work"
If you do not give the community well thought out options - they will bail!

Hi,
I think we will just let the gitbox forwarded emails to go to another

Which assumes you use github and not every one does. New users may not,
again try to put yourself in a user shoes not a committer on the project.
What's convenient for developers not not be for users. There should be one
place I can come to to get a good idea of how the project works and what is
going on. As a new user if that's spread over many places does that help
me? Anyway I suggest you carefully read the conversations I pointed to on
the incubator general list in particular the comments on the damaging
effect on community growth.
Thanks
Justin
