So when PRs came in, I coerced the > submitter to use the list. I'm thinking that we continue this way as-is and I'd like to do so because of the same reason Dave says. Crash's watchers [1] receives Issues/PR emails, but there are 55 people now (although the number would increase if we use GitHub mainly), while the crash-utility mailing list has several hundreds members. (And I personally think that it's easier to discuss things via email, which I'm used to.) If it's hard for us to continue the way or using GitHub looks much more efficient in the future, then we can shift it to a GitHub way. [1] https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/watchers Thanks, Kazu
