Re: Is this mailing list obsolete now?
Agree. GH is ok for people involved in dev. I want to see topics into my mailbox, even if they are not relevant to my use case(s). This way I learn from others' issues. Push is definitely better than pull/search in case of Couch. In any case, if GH discussions are selected, then there must be a sync to the list. And webhooks are not always reliable, the email shall be coming directly from GH, as it is in Gitlab, for example. And.. GH is now MS... :( Cheers!

Re: Is this mailing list obsolete now?
Well, as a user, I kind of find that the move to a github discussion is not at all helpful. Email lists are a time-proven mechanism - why break what ain't broke.

Shall we all consider the mailing list obsolete and move to github? Not at all. We're currently in early, closed beta testing of the GitHub Discussions functionality. So far, we're happy with it, but there's no telling what will happen. It's been pretty popular, though, as you can see. Is there a way to get summaries from github or other kind of notifications by email? The intent is that, once GitHub releases webhook functionality for Discussions, we'll have at least unidirectional integration of GH Discussion posts mirrored to this mailing list. They've indicated this won't happen prior to the public beta launch, and possibly not before the feature is out of beta. It's unclear yet whether we'll be able to enable posting to GH Discussions back from replies on the mailing list, but it's something under review and has been requested from GitHub development and ASF Infra. -Joan "tempus fugit" Touzet

Hi, I see that some topics on the list are not in the github discussions and vice versa? Shall we all consider the mailing list obsolete and move to github? Is there a way to get summaries from github or other kind of notifications by email? Cheers, Kiril.
