alt Hacker NewsI think this is a really solid move. This gives OSS contributors a lot of flexibility. You could set the limit to 0, and manually add contributors. You could set it to 1-3 to allow people to get their foot in the door. But the de facto limit today is infinite, which is spammed. Imagine if GMail did this! If I don't whitelist or reply within `n` emails, youre done. I would KILL for that.

It would be very annoying? Spammers can still spam one message, but now your friends can't email you twice. Awesome.
This is a barely-better-than-nothing blunt tool.
I get a lot of emails that I want to get but never reply to. I would not want to have to remember to whitelist all of those.
