As someone who just subscribes to the dev list to stay in the loop on upcoming changes or bugs, I had to recently add a filter to trash all of the messages coming from GitHub because it was way too much. I would still be interested in seeing what PR's are opened but the noise from getting emailed for every comment on every PR was too much if I wanted that I would have watched the project directly in github.
