I know.  But the "Watch" feature IME produces a lot of noise, and
there's no way AFAIK to be selective there.  For example, I don't want
to see the "closed" and "merged" notifications, not machine-generated
links to commits, I only want to see discussions posted by humans.

In any case, this feature of GitHub is not relevant, because in this
sub-thread I was comparing the email-based workflow with the GitHub
one.  That GitHub has a feature to deliver email is not relevant since
the message to which I responded in effect said "I don't want to use
email".

Not according to the OP, no.
