mesos-dev is the development mailing list, I personally find the review board notifications to be a core part of the development discussion. On the email you link I the important bit is the update:
" Changes ------- Isolation modules also properly cleanup executors now! " Reviewboard notifications are a core part of the development, so I think they belong in the development mailing list. Unfortunately, we've seen a history of people using mesos-dev instead of mesos-users because that's where all the action happens. I think that's the fundamental problem and we'll need to reverse that trend.
