At the current moment there are 1627 subscribers to this list which is I
believe the highest number yet, so this one data point doesn't suggest
anyone is leaving yet.

If you really truly never want to see commit messages why not add a
simple rule to delete them?  If the addition of some specific header
would help let us know.

As I see it the number of people who are adamant that the commit
messages are bad and don't want to see them are a small minority and as
such it is better for all for them to choose individually to delete them
than for us to choose for everyone to move them to a different list to
which they may never subscribe.
