I seem to recall that you are always the first one to suggest a new mailing list when more than two people are talking about a topic. :-)
The header to allow filtering doesn't really help. What if I do want to see commit messages from some projects but not from all?
Filter on the subject ... reject if X-Site: PgFoundry AND ! Subject: IN ( plperlpng ) ... its really not that difficult ...
Eventually we'll be drowned by commit messages from dozens or hundreds of projects (we already nearly are, and it's been only a few weeks).
Wow, how do you handle committers in the first place? there have been ~6 messages from pgfoundry, minus the ones that I got Andrew to make to test that I had the format right ...
Those who actually read the commit messages to closely monitor the projects that they care about will soon give up and overall quality will be less.
If ppl aren't already using filtering on their email, they I can't imagine them not already having given up on all the spam into their mailboxes ...
