I think this would only give notification of push events to a repository,
not pull request.  So this come would come too late, after any discussion
had concluded.

From what I can see, it would be straightforward to setup notificaion
as you intend if there was a "dummy" account for core-talk.  However,
I'm not immediately sure how to do this in a way which would prevent
the account from being hijacked via password reset by anyone with access
to the list (which is everyone).

In the short term it would be simpler for those with github accounts
to "watch" https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/
