I subscribe to the python/cpython stuff on GitHub. I find it basically
impossible to follow because of the volume. I realize there are
probably plenty of extra changes going in based on the recent language
summit (and maybe some sprints at PyCon?) as well as the proximity to
the beta 1 freeze. Still, does anyone actually try to follow
everything that comes out of that firehose? I've received updates to
about 125 new GMail conversations (more total messages than that) in
the last 24 hours, and that's after using filters to delete
Miss-Islington-type messages altogether. As far as I can quickly
ascertain, all the messages are from real people, not bots.

How (if at all) do people deal with this firehose of email? Am I the
only person dumb enough to have tried?

I used to scan for
csv-module-related messages, but don't even try to do that now. My
only real reason for continuing to subscribe is that it feeds into a
process that updates a dictionary of "common" words used by my
XKCD-936-derived password generator.

Thx,

Skip
