Hi Flagon Dev, How do we feel about using a notifications@ list, so that not everything is piped to dev@? That is one option mentioned from @ctubb...@apache.org <ctubb...@apache.org> ( below ).
That seems vastly preferable for people involved in issue/PR discussions to not receive duplicate messages. Related: if Infra is amenable, I am also willing to explore extending the functionality to be able to reply from email [ sent to list ] to get it back to GH, that's a very nice feature of the messages coming from GH. Interested to hear your thoughts. If there is consensus/sufficient-support, I'll be happy to update .asf.yaml, and deal with creating that list [ I'm not sure whether I can move forward via lazy consensus if not hearing from people ].

To: Austin Bennett <aus...@apache.org> Cc: <us...@infra.apache.org>, <dev@flagon.apache.org> You'd really have to try to convince your project to configure their .asf.yaml file to send their GH notifications to a secondary list (like notifications@) which you can simply unsubscribe from, so you don't get duplicates from both GH and via the mailing list. That way users can choose to opt-in to the notifications@ list in addition to the dev@ list, at their choice. Some projects do this, while others are much more resistant to the idea, and would prefer you just configure your mail client to filter things out manually.

I'd prefer to not receive emails for Issues/Comments I am already participating in [ as it otherwise feels like spam ], is there a way to customize this so it does not get sent to me? I write here since in the bottom of email to flagon's dev list as forwarded from GH it suggested to contact us...@infra.apache.org > > A related feature request [ maybe better for a different email?]: > * When GH sends me notifications directly, I can reply to the issue/PR. This does not work when the traffic goes through the dev list [ if I reply to the message to dev list, the response goes to dev list, not to GH ]. Is that additional customization that we already have? If not, is that something worth looking to build/support? > > Including dev@flagon for visibility, so devs can also potentially opt-into what gets determined. > > Thanks, > Austin
