We can consider some other possible changes; however, it is impolite to modify the From field with an address that would indicate an individual but represents the entire list.

Is it?

I get notifications from github with From: User Name It seems like the best solution.

I think it would greatly increase the chance of someone mistakenly sending private mails to the list. That's not an issue with the github mail address.

Why not? If you reply it ends up in the public issue tracker. -- Olaf
