Please stop auto-subscribing users to new repos

Description

Please stop auto-subscribing users to new repos added to github. I have no need to watch any of them and the constant parade of emails is really annoying. Every user who agrees has to manually unsubscribe from each new repo. It gets old fast.

Thanks. Yes that's fine. I had flipped that switch awhile ago and forgotten about this ticket. Today I just found the switch to disable alerts for "pull request pushes", which should get rid of the most of the rest of the unwanted noise.

More on the lines of if I sit on a ticket long enough someone else fixes it...

Github now allows you to opt out of automatically watch new repos. Just change the appropriate notification setting in your github account. Attached are my settings which I find cut down the noise.

Unfortunately it cannot be done globally for all users in an org, each user has to set it themselves.
