Hi, Sorry for starting the vote too early, for some reason I thought it’s a straightforward thing, but the concerns are valid.
I believe this is a good thing to do now, because the activity in ZooKeeper community has reached a level which the dev list with all notifications included hasn’t been prepared for. I see emails every now and then from people who fed up with the flood of notification emails and decide to unsubscribe instead of taking the hassle of dealing with email filters. *Filters* Pretty much everything which can be done with separate mailing lists, can be achieved by some clever email filters too. Though I think having multiple mailing lists is technologically a better distinction for emails: separate archives, different retention policies, less email to be delivered (filters working on client side) and more convenient for new subscribers. *Markmail* I’m a power user of markmail too, but I’m not sure how it works. Tbh I cannot see the benefits of searching for automated emails from Gitbox, but I’m sure we can set it up properly, if needed. *Existing users* It’s completely valid that on the flip side we’ll mess up the config of existing users. I don’t we can avoid that or do this in a backward compatible way, but I think it’s worth to pay this price. What will happen to them? - Stop receiving emails from Jira and Github, - Get the announcement on the dev list: hey, from now on you need to subscribe from [email protected] if you want to be notified about A and [email protected] if you want to be notified about B, etc. I don’t think we can automatically subscribe them for the new lists, it sounds like against the law (GDPR?), but I’m not a lawyer. My 2 cents. Regards, Andor > On 2019.
