[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-3329) Send github pull requests to development mailing lists

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3329?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13083193#comment-13083193 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on INFRA-3329:
--------------------------------------

I've implemented a simple email script [1] that matches incoming email from Github to the respective codebase and resends the message to the first (xxx-)?dev@yyy.apache.org address it finds within the top-level files (READMEs, build files, etc.) of the latest trunk of that codebase.

The script is now active for people who want to experiment with it. Please note that Github uses variable sender addresses for pull requests, so currently all such requests need to be explicitly moderated to a dev@ list. I'm not sure how to best deal with that.

I'll leave this issue open for a while for any comments, reviews and suggestions for improvements.

> Is there someway we can get github to send pull requests against the official apache repos on github to the apache mailing lists?
> For example, https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1 was created, and none of the libcloud developers noticed it for months.
