I do the same. The issue queue mail gets anywhere from 70-150 messages on a typical day for me. I just have it sort by name, then skim through and read anything that catches my interest. When it gets over 2000 messages, I'll delete anything older than a week. Also, if I open a new tab in firefox and type "d" in the location bar, its first suggestion is "drupal.org/project/issues/user".

Tao,
I go to http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail and subscribe to All issues for the Drupal project (and any other modules I'm interested in). Then I filter my mail to a folder in Thunderbird. I'm sure there is a better way with RSS, but I like this...except for having 10,000+ emails in my Drupal folder.
Then, I just peruse any issue emails to see what's going on. It's a great way to stay up to date with development. You can always subscribe to just My issues to see any issues you've commented on.

Hi List,
I could use some advice on keeping up with development, and where I should be spending my time. Just today, I followed at link from the front page to an issue that I had not seen before, and in the comments found out that Dries was interested in having my find_paths module modified and included into core. I would have been thrilled to do it, but unfortunately, the comment was from a month ago, and someone else has already stepped up and done most of the work.
I keep up with the dev list, and planet drupal, a couple of groups over at g.d.o, my own projects issue queue, and email about the user group I run, and that pretty much consumes all of the time I have to stay up-to-date. And I still missed a key opportunity to contribute. Do folks have advice? Should I give up the dev list and focus on the issues queues (and which ones)? Should I stop reading Planet Drupal and spend an hour a day over at #drupal? Or should I just chill and assume that if someone wants my help they will contact me directly?
thanks, -tao
