The hive dev list generates a lot of traffic. The average for October
was 192 messages per day. As a result no one sends hive dev directly to
their inbox. They either unsubscribe or they build filters that ship
most or all of it to a folder. Chasing people off the dev list is
obviously not what we want. Sending messages to folders means missing
messages or not seeing them until you get unbusy enough to go read back
mail in folders.
The vast majority of this traffic is comments on JIRA tickets. The way
I've seen other very active Apache projects manage this is JIRA creates
go to the dev list, but all other JIRA operations go to a separate
list. Then everyone can see new tickets, and if they are interested
they can watch that JIRA. If not, they are not burdened with the email
from it.
I propose we do this same thing in Hive.
Alan.
