As bank account holders of SVB have discovered, counterparty risk is a thing.
I would gate all notifications from github onto these lists to be archived permanently in an off-github medium. Github decides to replace the features you’re using with something else, the history is lost for good.

<p>I second this and will point out that Github is NOT politically
and socially agnostic.<br>
</p>
<p>This is a serious problem for a software stack that allegedly <i>is
</i>agnostic. You are what you base your operations on when it
can be yanked out from under you should you refuse to play "their"
way, and "their way" can be redefined as they wish without your
consent.</p>
<p>I don't use Github for communication, questions and commentary
anywhere else -- not just for this reason, but rather because its
interface for this sort of purpose is clunky and stupid; its just
not suitable for purpose. Git itself as a revision-control system
works perfectly well albeit not easily-serialized (which is a
problem when bisecting to try to figure out<i> </i>which commit
hosed you), but that's a problem that can be worked around and,
given the design, is tolerable.</p>
<p>IMHO keep the list.<br>
