I would like to propose to send automated mailings of signoff reports for [community-testing] to a different list than aur-general.

I'm not convinced that aur-general is an appropriate list for these reports.
Rather than many subscribers filtering these emails out to bin, I'm sure it would be a better solution to send these reports to another, more appropriate, email list.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  We stopped sending signoff reports altogether so this is resolved.

Why do these emails even exist?

For the same reason signoff reports for [testing] are sent to arch-dev-public.

No idea.

Considered splitting off signoff reports and integrity checks to another list?

Who takes care of the system that is sending them? Perhaps they could weigh in on their purpose.

That's the question. I'm going to take a guess.

I believe Angel takes care of archweb development nowadays, thought I'm not exactly sure how much development is happening.

Disclaimer: Not defending any position here, just trying to recreate why it exists and what can we do.

In the past community and aur were handled just by the TUs, and actually community wasn't considered an official repo .. now the reality is different(I'm speaking of back 10~ years ago or so), and is not the case today.

I think I agree with Allan and we should remove these e-mails, at all, I will do a patch later this week and will add it, but if someone want to do it first or want to discuss, this is the place and the moment. Let me know your input
