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.
