I'd also like to follow discussions, but unsubscribed from cvs-ghc due to the volume.
Maybe the reply-to field on cvs-ghc emails could be set to glasgow-haskell-bugs? (or whatever the agreed upon dev list is called) Then if someone replies to a bot/commit message on cvs-ghc, it automatically goes to the place where active discussion happens, and those of us that don't want so many emails won't have to dig through cvs-ghc to find the interesting bits.
