[apache/incubator-mxnet] [RFC] RFC Issue Mirroring to
dev@mxnet.apache.org (#15748)
# Problem Statement
Before setting up the mirroring, activity on dev@mxnet.apache.org and on GitHub are disconnected. Community members need to manually bring discussion on GitHub to the dev@ list by sending a notification with a link, and vise versa. This problem has been discussed (and [voted on](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/5375f46e9e358603fdabb46d97c838420d827e79e189f3ffbbdc1b57@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E)) and solutions have been proposed in the past, but was shelved due to concerns on large amount of traffic. Still, fixing the communication gap is greatly beneficial for a healthy community.
# Proposal
This is an RFC (and demo) for bidirectional mirroring of GitHub issues with `[RFC]` in the subject on the dev@mxnet.apache.org. By mirroring the RFCs in GitHub issues on dev@ automatically, community members can join the discussion on new proposals either on GitHub, or on dev@ list, within the same conversation. Also, this decreases the burden on people who are writing new proposals as it would no longer be necessary to duplicate the notification to both channels.
# Approach
The mirroring is achieved through setting up an email filter for the desired subset of emails and automatically forward them to the dev@ list.
GitHub notifications already allow joining GitHub conversations through replying to the notification email (with reply-to address notifications@github.com). GitHub notification emails that are automatically forwarded will have notifications@github.com as the sender, and thus replying to the email on dev@ will send the message back to the GitHub. For message on GitHub, the automatic forwarding will send the message to the same email thread. As a result, messages from both channels will show as a single cohesive conversation.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
