If you're managing 5+ projects at once, your inbox must be a train-wreck of garbage from these mailing lists.

GitHub has email notifications for issues, but you can opt out of any particular discussion if it gets too pedantic or doesn't relate to you. This helps massively reduce inbox clutter.

The thing that bugs me about mailing lists the most is you get all the email, all the time, forever.

This is a total non-issue. Mailing lists support daily digests if you want that, and email clients support folders and filters if you want that instead. Nobody managing 5+ mailing list-based projects at once is dumping all of that into an unsorted inbox.

Because who doesn't like mucking around with their client's filtering?

Ever heard of it's 2015 and I'd like to be able to opt-in to specific mailings if necessary.

Isn't there a decent mailing list package that hybridizes a GitHub "issue" type system with a traditional "email firehose" approach?
