Description
Hello!
I was discussing with @chriscool about adding instructions to git.github.io about filtering messages from the Git mailing lists. I don't know exactly which would be the best page to place them (perhaps Hacking Git? or a new page dedicated to dealing with communication?).
This work for me (please note that I use GMail and I'm following its searching syntax):
| Type | Folder | Mark as read | Search string |
|---|---|---|---|
| Messages including me | Inbox | No | (default behavior) |
| Patch | Git/Patches | Yes | from:(-<my address>) subject:PATCH (list:git@vger.kernel.org AND -to:<my address>) |
| What's cooking | Git/What's cooking | No | from:(-<my address>) subject:(What's cooking in git.git) (list:git@vger.kernel.org AND to:-<my address>) |
| Rev News | Git/Rev News | No | from:(-<my address>) subject:("[ANNOUNCE] Git Rev News") (list:git@vger.kernel.org AND to:-<my address>) |
| Other | Git/Discussion | No | from:(-<my address>) subject:(-PATCH -"What's cooking" -"[ANNOUNCE] Git Rev News") (list:git@vger.kernel.org AND to:-<my address>) |
I would like to hear you if you have any comments on these filters. I want do to something for filtering Git releases but GMail's syntax isn't powerful enough to do that (unless if I do some tricks checking the messages bodies, which is a fragile assumption).
Thanks!

Research direction
Review the git.github.io documentation structure, especially the possible Hacking Git page, and compare the proposed Gmail filters with the existing site content. Done means choosing an appropriate location and documenting the useful mailing-list filters clearly, while noting that release filtering is not covered if Gmail's syntax cannot support it.
