OK, I finally got it going ... somewhat ;) As you probably have seen,
notifications are sent to the list (both for issues and commits). I do this
via a new github user which represents the mailing list. So far this user
is only watching the rsyslog and rsyslog-pkg-ubuntu repos. Others can be
added if we agree that's a good thing to do. It must be noted, though, that
replies via the mailing list do only work of github is kept on the CC list.
Also, it looks like github re-injects the message into the ML, so it is
essentially duplicated.

All in all, it works but looks a bit fishy to me. I am also not sure if
anyone on the list is interested in these notifications. Maybe it would be
better if those interested in the notifications subscribe (watch) them
directly on github. Alternatively, I could create a dedicated ML just for
these type of "external announcement" and so anyone would be free to choose
either of the two.

Comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Rainer
