Which is a perfectly rational thing to do, and it worked correctly as
the gitHub / email bridge is supposed to.

The problem is that the gitHub email bridge is not designed to be used
with a mailing list...

I imagine there must be some way to have the creation of new issues
and PRs sent to the list, but not allow the “list user” to participate
in discussions.

BTW, as far as I remember, this is not so different than it was with
TRAC — I remember getting “spammed” with emails about TRAC tickets as
well.

I think we just had a particularly active discussion on gitHub recently...
