githubnotifications
I’ve been joined to a GitHub “organisation” for some things I do at the day job occasionally (administrative and Debian packaging things). I’m not normally involved in the development of the stuff hosted by that GitHub organisation.
However, when someone creates a new repository on that organisation, I am automatically subscribed to it and need to manually unwatch it, all the time.
How can I stop being automatically subscribed to new repositories—ideally, for one particular organisation only?
Nowadays, GitHub supports archiving repositories.
Archiving repositories
You can archive a repository to make it read-only for all users and indicate that it's no longer actively maintained. You can also unarchive repositories that have been archived.
...
- On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, click ⚙ Settings.
Under "Danger Zone", click Archive this repository or Unarchive this repository.
- Read the warnings.
Type the name of the repository you want to archive or unarchive.
- Click I understand the consequences, archive this repository.

Go to Github.com logged in or directly to your profile-page:
http://github.com/raphink?tab=repositories
On both these pages there are filter-buttons for "Forks".

Go to GitHub settings
You'll see this:
If you uncheck or untick that box you should now have to manually watch repositories that are added by your joined organisation if they've also given you push access.
You can't set it on a per organisation level though. It's all or nothing at the moment.
