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?
