That's not what I mean.

Perhaps I will give a better example.

I occasionally have a need to interact with the subversion project
(increasingly rare, but it happens). If I am not subscribed to the mailing
list I may not see all replies. If I am not subscribed then my mail search
is constrained, I have to jump about across markmail, and the really crappy
apache mail archives UI... perhaps trying to search nabble or via google...
when actually the issue I am seeing is one that others have seen and just
isn't indexed by the search engines.

So I am subscribed to the subversion mailing list. Not because I pay
attention to the project... but because I have an occasional need to dip in
and out.

What I would like is a web based newsgroup reader for subversion that
allows me to flag specific topics (and auto flags topics i respond to) and
then redirects those to my email client so that I can dip in when I want
and get pushed the responses.

All the web based tooling such as forums tends to do one of two things:

1. Require me to pull updates
2. Push notifications but require me to return to reply.

Now Github has gotten this right for commits, pull requests and issues...
but a lot of the *community* stuff is not just commits pull requests and
issues.

But at least Github lets me be pushed notifications *that I can reply by
email to*. And if I comment on something then Github will auto-subscribe me
to that specific (pull request, commit, or issue)

I want that flexibility for the community stuff too.
