[Digikam-devel] Separate bugs mailing list?

Currently the vast majority of emails to this list are automatic
emails from bugs.kde.org, making it very hard to find the non-bug
discussions and hard for non-developers who are trying to follow the
digikam development process.  To be specific, since the start of
August there have been 333 non-spam emails to this list.  Of those,
311 (over 93%) were automatic emails from bugs.kde.org, and another 9
were from git commits or reviewboard.  Only 13 were announcements or
discussions directly on the mailing list.

Given the high volume of bug reports relative to other emails, I think
it would be very helpful if bug reports were sent to a second,
dedicated mailing list rather than the main list.  This would make it
easier to follow discussions and make it easier to filter and
categorize emails in email programs.  I suspect, but am not sure, that
it would also encourage more discussion since emails to the list would
not get lost so easily.
