Personally I think there is way too much third-party crap showing up on
pgsql-committers already. I am very close to changing my filters to
bit-bucket *everything* out of pgfoundry, and you can bet that if stuff
from github starts being allowed through, it will go straight to
/dev/null here.

What I'd like to see is a reversion to the original design wherein
commit traffic for pgfoundry projects goes to lists for those individual
projects. As for github, people who want to watch that can watch it,
but please don't clutter pgsql-committers with it.
