-0: We already have issues@ for automated emails. Whether it's automated from one place or another does not matter (to me).
"If I'm not mistaken, the issues@ ML was intended to keep one posted of and reactive on a human discussion happening on JIRA." That's what dev@ is for IMO, humans. I've never seen issues@ used as the target of human messages, only as a sink for bots. Automated git emails already go to issues@, as do Jira automated email. We don't yet yet another list for some other kind of automated message. If anything, it might be clearer to rename issues@ to botsink@ or some such.
