I agree that Jira emails have been there for quite some time.
It seems as more projects are starting to discuss things in jira.


What we decided to do in OFBiz, for several years already, is to discuss important matters 1st in dev ML and when a consensus is reached to continue 
in Jira. We have a notification@ ML for Jira issues.


I trust this can help

Subversion, so are not concerned by the title thing

I totally agree Christopher and I thank you for acknowledging me because you 
can easily get confused and lost with so many mailing list emails lol. I would 
like to add in the friendliest manner, can the origination of the projects 
followed by a small synopsis rehashing what some may have missed would be 
awesome. Not only are the subject lines for projects confusing, but also their 
responses. This makes the journey and destination of the project ambiguous in 
definition and difficult to jump in if you missed communications in the chain. 
Thanks again for inquiring and I am happy to help when I can, I apologize for 
not being as active as I was previously in communications due to work; however 
I deeply believe in the projects including their troubleshoots. If I cannot get 
on a project I do want to follow it through the email chain for educational 
purposes as well. Thanks again and hope all is well!

Re: A little annoying development with emails and "integration" with other tooling ...

[Dave Fisher]

Hi -

I find it nearly impossible to follow GitHub (GitBox) emails. I know Infra has 
done some work on threading these which has improved the situation. More needs 
to be done to improve the subjects. Perhaps we can also create digest emails.

For JIRA I guess since I’ve used JIRA off and on since JIRA version 1 AND it is 
easier to have a meaningful subject I’m less concerned.

Dave

Hi Lars,

I agree that Jira emails have been there for quite some time. 
It seems as more projects are starting to discuss things in jira.
What I'm more referring to is that with the jira issues, it would be great if 
the title of these emails could be stripped down drastically.
Could imagine the email of the user doing something being used as sender and 
for example strip down the whole "JIRA Christofer Dutz commented on PLC4X-0815: 
yadda yadda" to something like "PLC4X-0815: yadda yadda (New comment)"
It's all this nonsense prefix to the interesting part of the mail title I'm 
mostly criticizing. 
Besides the lack of content in the GitHub emails, which is a second issue for 
me.

[Claude Warren]

Christofer,

I have to agree, the projects I have been involved with are getting harder
to follow.  Too much noise in the signal.  However, I do not have any
constructive suggestions at this time.

I keep thinking there could be an app/tool that 

but then I remember Claude's Law:"There is no first world problem that can
not be made worse by an app."
