True, but it could be created if it made sense, of course.  However, if
this was about the maintainers, they could subscribe to the GitHub
notifications individually and be done with it.¹  The question is really
just whether the discussions (and status changes) on GitHub are also
interesting to others besides the actual maintainers.  If so, we'd like
to involve those people; and for them, it might be a feature having just
a single place for (un)subscribing, a single filter rule to maintain,
and so on.  At least that's how I'd feel when subscribing to other
project's development lists.

¹ I'll do just that if we switch to filtering out status changes.
