Hi,
GitHub creates a kind of “spontaneous mini mailinglists” for every issue and
every PR.
For one, this is nice as all the discussion is at one place and can be found
easily, and it makes
sure those who are involved in the issue get the messages (e.g. the one who
created an issue
tracker entry).
But: you will only see those by default.
If you want to get an impression of things happening, it might be interesting
to “Watch” the repository.
You can do that by clicking on the “Watch” button on
