Question regarding JIRA notifications

Greetings TC chairs, 

A quick request for feedback. 

I have had several people over the past year object to our configuration that sends an email to the TC mailing list every time a JIRA issue is updated. "JIRA spam" as some have called it. 

My justification was transparency. But I get it all so I sympathize with the complaints. 

Since JIRA is publicly visible and anyone can choose to watch issues of interest, my question is this: 

Would you prefer that a JIRA notice only be sent when an issue is opened or closed? Or does your TC find the updates useful? 

Thanks for your input and I'll let you all know what I learn. 

Best, 

/chet
