I agree with Joe, JIRA should keep the same level of verbosity.
As Alex suggests, a good idea is to move them to a new mailing list (for 
commits, jira and review board updates etc.) and people who want to receive 
those can join them. Can David or any asf-infra member help us get a new 
mailing list for all of that?

Regards.
