We don’t need a formal vote if we have a general consensus. This is an issue I’d like to see fixed since it drives me nuts and is amplified by the number of mailing lists I’m subscribed to.
The requirement to link github pull request comments, etc. to JIRA originates from the ASF policy that all artifacts of the decision-making process (email, issues, etc.) be archived on ASF-controlled hardware. The linking of github activity to JIRA partly addressed that, but it’s not optimal (e.g. What happens when a PR isn’t linked to a JIRA?). Personally, I want to get notified of all JIRA and github activity, but what I don’t want is 4 copies of every notification. I have some email filters to help alleviate that, but it’s not a good solution. One short-term solution for those who don’t care about JIRA/GitHub traffic would be to setup issues@storm.a.o <mailto:issues@storm.a.o> and funnel all generated mail there (that’s just an INFRA ticket followed by some patience). That won’t alleviate the issue of duplicates for those that subscribe to that list. Another option that’s available now (it wasn’t in the past) is to switch over to github issues and stop using JIRA. Then people could set their own notification preferences in github. The downside is to close issues, it would require a git commit (the same mechanism we use today to close abandoned pull requests). Another downside is that issues would be read-only, so we wouldn’t be able to add labels, etc. Actually as I was typing this I was also chatting with INFRA about it. And it turns out you can funnel github activity into the work log for a JIRA, rather than comments. That will eliminate the duplicate emails. So it seems the solution might be: 1. Funnel github activity to the associated JIRA work log. 2. setup issues@storm.a.o <mailto:issues@storm.a.o>. and route JIRA notification to that. That would keep dev@ clear of the machines. ;) How does that sound? -Taylor > On Aug 11, 2016, at 3:08 PM, Kyle Nusbaum <knusb...@yahoo-inc.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > I'm pro-getting-rid-of-github-messages-on-jira as well, but that's less > annoying to me personally than the mails.
