Dear Chris, All,
yes, advising people to resign from cf-metadata to avoid messages from github is a bit over the top.
As an interim, I believe that the cf-metadata administrator could bar github from sending messages to this list (mailman offers this option on the admin page) until we have worked out how it should work.
regards,
Martin

Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Turning off gitHub!!!!
By the way, if we DO use a mailing list for a gitHub/TRAC bridge, could we please gve it a name other than:
cf-metadata
It's really confusing to figure out which one I should mail to.
How about cf-metadata-github-bridge or something?

Apparently the gitHub mirroring is really driving folks crazy -- we really need to turn it off until it's done properly.
Action #1:
Who knows the password of the cf-metadata-list gitHub user???
https://github.com/cf-metadata-list
That person can go log into gitHub as that user, and stop watching the Issue at hand -- I'm not anyone else can easily do that.
Action #2
Maybe turn off the list that's hooked up to gitHub? That would stopp all this 'till we figure it out.
Action #3
post here, VERY CLEARLY, how folks can opt out of the gitHub mirroring list.
NOTE to CASUAL USERS:
I *think* the reason you all are having trouble opting out is that there are TWP cf-metadata lists:
One is the usual one, hosted by ucar:
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
The other is hosted by llnl, and handles the gitHub (and TRAC??) email. I *think* everyone that subscribed to the regular list gets aauto-subscribed to the other list. here's a bit of info on that:
The discussions carried out on the Trac site (and now gitHub) are sent to subscribers of this list via messages from the majordomo list, cf-metadata at lists.llnl.gov<mailto:cf-metadata at lists.llnl.gov>. You will automatically be subscribed to that list. To unsubscribe, without unsubscribing from this list, send a message to "majordomo at lists.llnl.gov<mailto:majordomo at lists.llnl.gov>" with "unsubscribe cf-metadata" in the body of your message.
