Hi all,
So, I think we should stay with Rich’s version of the email.
Now to the next question … which list should we post this to?
And what do you think should we define as a date when we’ll switch?
As far as I understood things, Infa merges PRs like mine on Thursdays.
How much time to we want to give people to adjust their .asf.yml?
Do 4 weeks make sense, or would a shorter time be better?
(I mean … we all know that it really doesn’t matter if you give people a week
or a year … they’ll always be surprised)
The range I’m ok with would be 2 weeks up to 4 weeks but wouldn’t really think
we should go beyond that.
What do you think?
Chris

Updated draft, for the sake of having it in the archive:
Subject: Mailing list threading improvements
Dear {Committers/members of the Apache PMCs},
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
{DATE}.
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:
