-1 Keeping a separate email list for subscribing to github activities seems like a better idea. One can always reference the issue/discussion/PR in the dev list to initiate conversation. Biggest concern is that important discussion can get buried in a flood of emails that are not completely relevant to me.

Here's the stats from the commits@ email list we have. I'd be curious to see how many subscribers we have to that. Hopefully the people voting +1 here subscribed to that :) 2018 June: 4617 2018 July: (half a month) 3106 (Source of the numbers are here https://lists.apache.org/list.html?comm...@mxnet.apache.org:2018-7) @Joshua: yes we need to bring 'valuable' (emphasis mine) discussion to a centralized place @dev. Does everything needs to be sent to dev@. For example, consider these recent PRs, why is it necessary for them to be forwarded to dev@? fix flaky test test_operator_gpu.test_countsketch: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11780 Update PyPI version number: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11773 Fix file name creation for Windows: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11765 [MXNET-8230] test_operator_gpu.test_rms fails: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11749 If people are forced to setup filters to parse these mails, then we are *ensuring* people don't get their eyes on valuable discussions on dev@.
