+# infrastructure-github-event-notifier
+Apache Infra GitHub Event Notification Service
+
+This service runs in the background and pulls in GitHub activity from our pubsub service.
+new/closed/merged issues/prs and code/issue comments are emailed to the appropriate mailing list.
+Where a code review from a user contains several comments on different pieces of code, the 
+comments are collated into a single email.
+
+The plan is to also add JIRA support later, for adding links and labels to JIRA tickets.
