I take it you are referring to the GitHub commit messages which 
are relayed to dmd-internals? Because except for those (which I 
just made a filter rule for), the list is really quite 
low-volume. Maybe we should create a dedicated d-commits list to 
which all the GitHub notifications get sent, similar to what 
other projects have? The occasional post-commit discussion could 
then be continued on one of the repository-specific lists, just 
like they are now.
