Description

With GitHub deprecating their commit notification email sending service (https://developer.github.com/changes/2018-04-25-github-services-deprecation/) people like me who came to heavily rely on this feature for a lot of their GitHub repos are looking for easy replacements: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53422244/how-to-get-commit-notifications-by-email-after-january

gitdub seems like a nice way to integrate with the GitHub webhook and send out notification emails on each push. However, I neither have the skills nor the time to set up and maintain a web server just to send out these emails. Is anyone here aware of an easy solution to replicate the notification email functionality to which an open source project can just sign up for free?

The issue mentions GitHub webhooks and commit-notification emails but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. First review the existing webhook and email-service setup, then define the hosting, signup, maintenance, and cost requirements before identifying what a complete solution would entail.
