Hello.

The situation with tool generated messages sent to
    iss...@commons.apache.org
has gotten from bad to worse.

It's great that more and more work is reviewed by automated
tools and reports sent for every and all kinds of potentially
interesting nit of information.
It's not great, IMHO, that tools that fit a particular developer's
work flow continuously spam all contributors.

If I'm not mistaken, the issues@ ML was intended to keep one
posted of and reactive on a human discussion happening on
JIRA.  With the advent of JIRA-GitHub integration, the ratio of
auto-generated messages relayed through that channel has
exploded, with literally hundreds of redundant messages per
week (or in a single day, today).

Could we have a ML dedicated to bot-generated messages
(or, if this trend continues, one ML for each type of activity
that might, or might not, interest a particular set of people)?

Specifically, I propose that
    github-iss...@commons.apache.org
be set up for relaying GitHub generated posts (like comments,
PRs merging, and so on) and that
    iss...@commons.apache.org
returns to its original purpose (only).

Thanks,
Gilles
