[PROPOSAL] Move github notifications to a separate mailing list
As you have surely noticed already, all the github notifications are being
sent to
this mailing list (dev@pulsar.incubator.apache.org).
This results in a big amount of mails sent to the list (one for each
comment made on issues or PRs and also when commits are pushed to the PRs).
I would propose to use a different mailing list for these notification, in
order to
split the "real" discussions on the dev list from the noise of the
notiifcations.
Most people are already receiving notifications from github anyway, and you
can
always subscribe to both lists and receive the same messages as now.
The question would be which mailing list should we be using for that?
* commits@pulsar.incubator.apache.org ? This is already existing and
mostly unused (just SVN dist commits notifications are sent here)
* or create a new list, like issues@pulsar.incubator.apache.org or
github@pulsar.incubator.apache.org ?
I think that, from the ASF perspective, this shouldn't pose any problem,
since the primary object is to archive these messages in an ASF list, not
necessarily dev@.
Mentors, please comment on this aspect.
Thanks,
Matteo

Since there were no complains.. :)
I've created an INFRA ticket to send notifications to commits@ list.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14756
Thanks,
Matteo

Commits@ exists. Let's use that. If another name like notifications@ is preferred then ask Infra to change the name.
Either way make sure it is set to reply-to dev@.
