FYI: Why people are using #hashtags in yocto email subjects. #hashtags

FYI:
I don't know if I missed the memo/tweet about the email archive feature but I just noticed that the new archive site will index emails by hashtag: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/hashtags I thought it was an annoying new behaviour coming from Twitter users but now I understand why there are hashtags on my lawn^Hsubject lines. ;-) -- # Randy MacLeod # Wind River Linux

I doubt people that actually send emails to the list use #hashtags.

But the new list server provides this posting feature for anyone to address the list and requests poster to add #hashtags - very annoying, indeed: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/post -- Denys

And looking at the history on the server, most of the existing tags came from the web. But a hashtag is created automatically when using '#' in the email subject. that's how #define was created: and this email created #hashtags ;-) I haven't found a way to disable it.. from what I can see we can 1. force every message to have at least one hashtag... 2. bounce message with a new hashtag in $subject 3. remove new hashtag when used in $subject I think we will need to do some tests to see what #3 does.. But in any case, I don't think we can prevent users from creating hashtags from the web.. Is that causing any issues with patches workflow?
