Well … that’s a bit of the problem

Infra has been giving me quite some pushback on these changes.
That’s why I didn’t just start creating PRs, but also discussing this matter in 
way too many mailing-lists.

So, I could post a perma-link to this thread and hope they’ll accept it,
Otherwise we’ll have to sort of find out “where to vote” first and then “do a 
vote” next.

Does this really need a vote?

If Infra agrees to change the defaults and it makes your life checking the 
mailing lists simpler it’s a win for everyone.
We (Apache Hop) have also implemented the suggestion you have made and I’m very 
pleased with the results.

As long as it is communicated in a timely manner and with a way for projects to 
revert it (which would be providing the lines we should add to the asf.yml to 
keep the current format) I do not really see an issue.

Though I do think the default format should still include the repository name.
It might be overkill for single repository projects but I think most projects 
have multiple repositories (even PLC4X has 3 of them so not sure how you are 
keeping the mails separated)


Cheers,
Hans
