Hi, I am seeing a lot of people trying (and failing) to unsubscribe from Cassandra mailing lists lately by sending an email to the list with "unsubscribe" message either in the subject or the body of the email instead of writing an email to dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org or user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org.
Last year I tried to template an answer for those messages, but it was annoying to answer all the people (I am not a robot) and my message was considered to be "too French". So I stopped. But at least it opened an interesting discussion and suggestions were made but never applied http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg48355.html. I know this 'spam' it is not a big deal, but seeing this kind of message regularly for years is somehow frustrating me and this useless noise is annoying, it makes more thread on busy mailing lists. Some unsubscribe messages are even in the middle of other threads. On the other side I believe it might be quite easy to 'fix'. Should / could we have INFRA automatically unsubscribing people sending those messages? I believe this would be the best solution, as more people mentioned a year ago. I would like at least those messages to be filtered, even that is a bit more selfish as it would not end the subscription for the person sending the message, it would at least reduce the noise. How do I make this actionable, should I create a JIRA? Is this message enough for someone to take over? Should this go through a vote?
