Just a hunch - the notifications system was completely rewritten and
deployed from scratch, without carrying over user preferences (boo!)
As much as it was a pain, I spent way too much time dealing with developers who set the old notification system to send them everything and then either had their email system stop accepting emails OR label all of fedoraproject.org as SPAM.
I know I had to clean up several dozen developers in the time frame from 2016 to 2020 and I don't know what Patrick, Kevin or others had to do. Several days when people would say "fedoraproject.org mailing lists are down" was due to someone who had turned back on their "give me everything and I will bounce back what I don't like" filter system. Other days it was that the big mail provider had put fedoraproject.org to a (we accept 4 emails per hour because you look like a SPAMMER) and the mailq would be tens of thousands notification emails to 20 or so people who had that domain. And quite a number of developers I contacted to ask if they could turn down their volume didn't even know the email was still getting sent because they had been filtering it to dev/null or spam for years.
Having a great reset and getting people who actually want notifications fixed a LOT of mailq problems for both it and other fedoraproject.org services.
