Hi Bjoern,

So, is there anyone who is _not_ a sponsored developer opposing to kill the mail
spammage?

Before we go ahead with any actions here, let me explain why I think it
is good to have some sort of mails going to the ML, and what I think is
broken at the moments.

The reason why we should have the mails going to the ML is simple - we
want to integrate the patches as quickly as possible, and for many, the
mailing list is the primary way of operation - see Lionel's  workflow.
I use something similar too - I read the ML so that first I kill threads
ending with [PUSHED], and then check the not yet merged patches; and
when it is something that I know something about, I go to gerrit &
integrate it.

What seems to be broken (to me) though are 2 things:

- the mails for the stable branches
  - no need for announcements there, as people usually know whom to CC
    to get a review, and it is later to be scanned by the person doing
    tags before the tagging

- the mails when "LibreOffice gerrit bot" is explicitly in the CC
  - for those, not only [PATCH] and [PUSHED] go to the ML, but all the
    discussion etc.

So before we do any radical action, what about to fix those 2 above [if
we can agree that the above is bug, and not a feature], and then see how
much the situation improves?

I can imagine 3rd thing to improve later, and that is to mail the
initial [PATCH] mail to the ML only if it does not get merged in eg. 1/2
day after submission ;-) - but that would probably need a patch to
gerrit, or something.

Regards,
Kendy
