I’d like to discuss the channels we use for notifying changes to JIRA cases. Currently[1], you will receive a notification for just about every change to a JIRA if you subscribe to issues@ (but only 18 people do)[2]. You will also receive a notification if you are the reporter or assignee.
I propose that when a JIRA is created, we send an email to both dev@ and issues@. This will be an extra 40 emails per month on the dev list. I am really cautious about increasing the number of messages on the dev list, because I think high-volume lists discourage part-time contributors, but I think this change is worthwhile. It will make people aware of conversations that are happening and if it helps to channel conversations onto JIRA cases it could possibly even REDUCE the volume on the dev list.
