+1

in fact, I would make a seperate list and then send all auto generated
mail (catch-all gitlab mails, unassigned bugs, ci mail, what have you)
there. have all devs subscribe to that and setup mail filters on that
list so this list, plasma-devel, can be for humans talking with other
humans.
from personal experience nothing is more annoying than subscribing to
a list of a project you are only loosely associated with to discuss
something and then getting drowned for a week by 7 different kinds of
services also sending crap to the list. it makes for a garbage
experience for new contributors as well as up/down/sidestreams that
want to get in touch or follow discussion.
