You can remove them, disable all notifications, add your own or whatever as you like. I don't think opting in is a good move here as new packagers likely are the people who need those notices the most. I could definitely see the welcome to packager email note this and point people to where they can adjust things. > - to get any general feedback about how the Fedora community feels about > use of email addresses. > > Note that I'm not just writing this to complain about the issue, I've > previously done work on tools to help people build dashboards of their > issues and I've blogged about some of those, including how you can get > Github issues in iCalendar[2], Nagios issues in iCalendar[3], Debian > issues in iCalendar[4].

Everyone is different... some people like email, some people like irc, some people like syncing taskwarrior to their tasks, some people like nothing and only want to run queries when they have time. > > - can anybody comment on other tools like this that put the developers > in control rather than bombarding our inboxes with things?

I'm no developer, but perhaps someone else would like to. You could ask on the infrastructure list. kevin
