At the moment system is set up so, that all members of @fedora-design group get all the emails from the pagure instance, same thing for the @fedora-badges group. Riecatnor and I think it might be not necessary that everybody get everything, and only a small group of 'admins' should get all the emails. For others we'd like to suggest email only if they have been mentioned in a comment. Could this be done?
Also if a person is not a member of the above mentioned groups, can they see the replies to their comments? e.g. here I am concerned, they just didn't get notified. Or did they?
Are getting notified: - all the people having access to the project, so if a group has access, then the entire group is notified - people specifically watching a project - people commenting on an issue/PR - people @mentioned on a comment (but unless they reply to that comment, they won't be added to the watchers for the issue) - people subscribing to the issue
from this list, are removed the people that specifically not watching the project.
There is no really options to say: these people with access to the project shouldn't get notified (unless they go and unwatch the project themselves).
based on the last comment and given the fact that there was no further activity, i'm going to close this issue.
