@santiago FWIW, the automated rescoring that we (the SA Project of #TheASF) do for the default rule channel works on the assumption that the threshold is 5. If you reduce the threshold you should put in proactive work to improve (i.e. reduce) the scores of mail that you value.

E.g. I use a level of 4 & I use the supplementary KAM rules channel. I can only do that because the vast majority of the legit mail on my server is aimed at "more_spam_to" addresses.

Every time I read anything about governance in #FOSS orgs that's not about #TheASF I am appalled.
Not that we're perfect, but we have managed to avoid being the creature of an insular self-appointed clique. We just elected a brand new board, as we do annually, including Apache OGs & members who've never been on the Board before. "We" is the membership, which is not purchasable with anything other than positive community-aware personal participation in ASF projects. nondeterministic.computer/@mjg

One thing I absolutely LOVE about #TheASF is how we do governance. Not efficiently, but properly. Hundreds of members with thousands of viewpoints. And yet, we always eventually figure out processes that work for a consensus acceptance of outcomes, if not unanimous agreement.

It can be a lot, the processes (many run by our robot friend STeVe) can feel clunky, but we mostly don't revisit decided outcomes or go ad hominem.

I used to love the USA.

Apparently it was a broader problem, because no, I was NOT the only one to notice, just the only one to open a Jira ticket.

BECAUSE IF THEREโ€™S NO TICKET THERE'S NO PROBLEM!!!

Clearly ASF Infra needs more staff. See my prior post if you live in Europe.

Dunno if @TheASF@fosstodon.org or @theasf@mastodon.social actually has anyone behind them to post this, but as it is a public job posting and M&P should be posting them to "our social media" today, it canโ€™t hurt for me to do it too.

#TheASF is hiring an infrastructure admin!

Infra has expressed that they need European timezone coverage, so US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/CN/HK folks are out of luck. US-sanctioned countries also would be a fatal flaw.

Is it really possible for svn.apache.org to be down and only the #SpamAssassin utility host and me to notice?

The ASF is hiring a developer... I would love to take this job, but I am afraid my Python knowledge is not good enough. Maybe it works out for you?
