Re: [UG-ADMINS] User Groups and php.net visability

I think an appropriate follow up would be for me to notify Github of 
this potential flaw in the system (auto enrollment in organizations, 
auto-watch, auto receive of notifications).

I'm trying to figure out a method to resolve the concerns of the non UG 
members efficiently; especially those that haven't taken to Twitter or 
are on this mailing list that may still be concerned. I'm considering a 
wiki repository with a README now that I revoked all access to all other 
repositories so the notifications stop. Does everyone think this is an 
appropriate solution? I'd still love to have the non UG members 
participate, but I'm walking a fine line and don't want anybody spammed. 
Ideally there's got to be a way to have notifications turned off for 
members. The other solution would be to let things sit idle and let 
members remove themselves from the group on their own accord.
