That makes me sad, I hope you'll have more time again in the future.

Yeah, I don't think anybody seriously suggested the list should be shut
down, just that GitLab is now preferred for patch submission & review.

Instead of monitoring a web page, I recommend setting up notifications
via the bell icon on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa [0]. If
you select "Custom", you can select in detail which events you want to
get notification e-mails for. Check "New merge request" to get an e-mail
for each new MR created. Then you can either enable notifications for
other MR events here as well, or enable all notifications for MRs you're
interested in using the "Notifications" switch in the right hand panel
on each MR's page.

GitLab notification e-mails contain X-Gitlab-* headers for easy filtering.


[0] Or for the whole Mesa group, if you prefer.
