I was also confused by a lot of mixed emails. For this topic, I have the following suggestions:
1. All pull requests are sent to the current dev@dubbo.apache.org<mailto:dev@dubbo.apache.org>. Pr contains final solution to problem solution or feature enhancement capabilities, all users and developers are more concerned. 2. All issues are only sent to is...@dubbo.apache.org<mailto:is...@dubbo.apache.org>. Issue contains classmates or bug feedback for help, Developers are more concerned and give guidance and help. 3. Important content or discussion sent to dev@dubbo.apache.org<mailto:dev@dubbo.apache.org>. For example, issues that need to be discussed when initiating a vote or related incubator project, but does not include issues on github. Thanks, yiji
