Keeping a separate email list for subscribing to github activities seems like a
better idea. One can always reference the issue/discussion/PR in the dev list
to initiate conversation. Biggest concern is that important discussion can get
buried in a flood of emails that are not completely relevant to me.

We had such a thing before and people asked for the mails to be redirected
to a different list commits@ because of the flood of mails.

I don't know if people have a sense of the volume of mails this can add
here. Here's the stats from the commits@ email list we have. I'd be curious
to see how many subscribers we have to that. Hopefully the people voting +1
here subscribed to that :)
2018 June: 4617
2018 July: (half a month) 3106
(Source of the numbers are here
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?comm...@mxnet.apache.org:2018-7)
@Joshua: yes we need to bring 'valuable' (emphasis mine) discussion to a
centralized place @dev. Does everything needs to be sent to dev@. For
example, consider these recent PRs, why is it necessary for them to be
forwarded to dev@?
fix flaky test test_operator_gpu.test_countsketch:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11780
Update PyPI version number:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11773
Fix file name creation for Windows:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11765
[MXNET-8230] test_operator_gpu.test_rms fails:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11749
If people are forced to setup filters to parse these mails, then we are
*ensuring* people don't get their eyes on valuable discussions on dev@.
