Hi all,

while reviewing your projects activities as part of my preparation for next 
week's board meeting, I came across the fact that the one entity responsible 
for almost 50% of your dev-lists traffic, is build failure notices from Jenkins.

I also left a comment on your last board report about this. 

Generally I'm a big fan of having build failure notifications on dev@, however 
I guess this only applies to build failures on the main branch. From me it 
looks as if here for every pr, issue, whatsoever all messages are delivered 
here. 

I would consider that harmful. The dev list should be a place where the project 
discusses matters of the project and is not flooded by such notifications. 

Perhaps an approach that other projects are using might be something the 
project could consider? Many other projects use GitHub Actions for the building 
of PRs etc. and only use Jenkins for special tests that require special agents 
or for staging and deploying websites and artifacts. 

The good thing here is that when using GitHub Actions, only the people involved 
in a PR get direct feedback emails and the rest of the project is not disturbed.

I hope this sort of feedback is welcome, if not, give me a notice and I'll try 
to remember that for the next time.

Also please add me in CC for any responses, as I'm not subscribed here.

Chris
