Instead the intention is to discourage people from personal attacks at each other, which negatively affects the group as a whole.
It doesn't affect anyone at all expect those that choose to read them and have nothing better to spend their time on than react to them and feed the trolls.
Unfortunately not true, such activity is seen by newer member of the community and these people go elsewhere (yes, this has happened, more than once).
The way to improve the mailing lists is to move the traffic from mariadb.com / mariadb.org internal mailing lists/private mail onto the public lists. Not to put up systems to reduce the trafic even further (however low the value of such traffic may currently be).
All the MariaDB mailing lists are public already. Mailing list message activity isn't too high, many people have moved on to other methods of communication (Zulip, MariaDB Community Slack, Reddit, etc...). But I don't see the mailing list going away any time soon either. Kind Regards -- Andrew (LinuxJedi) Hutchings Chief Contributions Officer MariaDB Foundation
