<p>Dear MapServer enthusiasts,</p>
<p>I find GitHub email notifications super useful to keep track of
changes to MapServer's code and issues. However, in order to
select which of my email address receives those notifications, I
would need to be added as a 'MapServer project member' on GitHub
[1].</p>
<p>Would the MapServer leaders be open to add people with little
interest to actually contribute code to the MapServer project on
GitHub? That would at least be a benefit to me :-) From what I see
[2], simple members don't have any special permission that could
wreak havoc.</p>
<p>I fully agree that GitHub itself should allow users to select
email addresses for individual repositories. I asked and they
answered that they'll consider this future improvement, but
there's no way for me to say if/when that's going to be
implemented. The simple solution is for me to become a 'member' of
the GitHub project, if that sounds possible or makes sense to the
MapServer crowd.<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for considering :-) --Alex<br>
