Hi - I find it nearly impossible to follow GitHub (GitBox) emails. I know Infra has done some work on threading these which has improved the situation. More needs to be done to improve the subjects. Perhaps we can also create digest emails.
For JIRA I guess since I’ve used JIRA off and on since JIRA version 1 AND it is easier to have a meaningful subject I’m less concerned.
