I know this is done, but I tend to agree with Henning here. Just yesterday we had two rather significant discussions going on about the oauth support in the api server and one happened in jira and one on the list. It's hard to keep the two discussions separated. You'd assume with the new traffic controls, that you'd want detailed, comments about specific code to go on in jira and broader topics to go on the dev list. This is practically not possible in some situations. dev-only subscribers will miss out on actual decisions that shape the codebase because they're often made in the jira issue. > > Commits is fine, though.
