Your e-mail address will be added to Jenkins job repository configuration[4] and you will receive one e-mail a day per repository and job, but only if there are any failed jobs. In short, if you are an owner of one repository with one job, you will receive 0-2 e-mails a day, depending on the stability of the job.<br><br></div><div>I do not care if the contact e-mail address is a person or a team. All I need is a reply if I send an e-mail message to that address, without having to be a member of a lot of mailing lists.<br><br></div><div>I am completely fine with being the contact person for all repositories, but since I do have limited time to spend on this, it means that I will mostly be disabling broken tests/jobs, and focusing on fixing problems related to continuous integration, not problems related to broken production or test code.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Questions?
