I have been searching for an old email in our mailing list and I have
just realized that the archives are literally polluted with something
like " Build failed in Jenkins" or " [jira] [Commented] "

In every given month there are screens and screens of the emails that
either dups of the information available elsewhere - i.e. Jira, or
useless in the retrospect - Jenkins build failure notifications are of
no importance in a couple of days usually.

What do you guys think about redirecting all that traffic to a
separate list and leave the dev@ for human beings? Say, we might have
another list ci@ or similar where all jira comments and jenkins
notifications will be sent.

I don't buy the argument like "this will hide important notifications
from the developers" simply because most of us are filtering these
notifications one way or another in order to make inbox inflow
manageable. For instance, I have a filter that moves all JIRA and CI
notifications for different projects to their appropriate mailboxes
that are being checked upon when I have time for it, etc.

So, what do you think?
