I would gate all notifications from github onto these lists to be archived permanently in an off-github medium. Github decides to replace the features you’re using with something else, the history is lost for good.
I second this and will point out that Github is NOT politically
and socially agnostic.
This is a serious problem for a software stack that allegedly is agnostic. You are what you base your operations on when it can be yanked out from under you should you refuse to play "their" way, and "their way" can be redefined as they wish without your consent.
I don't use Github for communication, questions and commentary anywhere else -- not just for this reason, but rather because its interface for this sort of purpose is clunky and stupid; its just not suitable for purpose. Git itself as a revision-control system works perfectly well albeit not easily-serialized (which is a problem when bisecting to try to figure out which commit hosed you), but that's a problem that can be worked around and, given the design, is tolerable.
IMHO keep the list.
