Create mailing list for gitlab commits
This has been suggested on the developer mailing list (a couple of weeks ago):
As gitlab doesn't offer users the option to self-subscribe to push event mails (email addresses can only be added manually by a project master), it was suggested to create a separate read-only mailing list, which gets its mails from gitlab's push event mails, and where people can self-subscribe.
While we do not have our own mailing list server, or have not switched to a new provider for mailing lists, this list could be established at sourceforge temporarily, after Inkscape has moved the code over to gitlab.
