TL;DR: We’re updating how auto-generated email from Github will be threaded on your mailing lists. If you want to keep the old defaults, details are below.
We’re pleased to let you know that we’re tweaking the way that auto- generated email from Github will appear on your mailing lists. This will lead to more human-readable subject lines, and the ability of most modern mail clients to correctly thread discussions originating on Github. Background: Many project mailing lists receive email auto-generated by Github. The way that the subject lines are crafted leads to messages from the same topic not being threaded together by most mail clients. We’re fixing that. The way that these messages are threaded is defined by a file - .asf.yml - in your git repositories. We’re changing the way that it will work by default if you don’t choose settings. If you’re happy for us to make this change, don’t do anything - the change will happen on October the 1st 2023. Details of the current default, as well as the proposed changes, are on the following page, along with instructions on how to keep your current settings, if you prefer: https://community.apache.org/contributors/mailing-lists.html#configuring-the-subject-lines-of-the-emails-being-sent Please copy d...@community.apache.org<mailto:d...@community.apache.org> on any feedback.
