Agreed, and we already have that with the osmocom-commitlog mailing
list. I'm not sure how this list is used in context of the new gerrit
setup. Does it only receive the 'accepted/approved' changes that were
merged into master. Holger? We should definitely still keep pushing
notifications to that list, IMHO.
The reason for having patch submissions + related discussions on the
main mailing list is IMHO exactly to ensure that people who are not
using gerrit every day are able to follow what's happening and able to
provide their feedback.
I would thus be in favor of having the following on the main mailing
list:

I would think that new_patchsets possibly with new_changes should be in,
but for comments I would rather disable them.
The "Foo has voded +2" mails are absolutely not aceptable to me. I'd
rather have all comment notifications disabled than to have those on the
list. Even if we can filter, I'm not sure if we want all the comments
on the list or not...
