Description

With GitHub deprecating their commit notification email sending service (https://developer.github.com/changes/2018-04-25-github-services-deprecation/) people like me who came to heavily rely on this feature for a lot of their GitHub repos are looking for easy replacements: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53422244/how-to-get-commit-notifications-by-email-after-january

gitdub seems like a nice way to integrate with the GitHub webhook and send out notification emails on each push. However, I neither have the skills nor the time to set up and maintain a web server just to send out these emails. Is anyone here aware of an easy solution to replicate the notification email functionality to which an open source project can just sign up for free?

Research direction
Look for existing hosted services that provide commit email notifications similar to gitdub, or suggest free hosting platforms like Heroku or Render to deploy gitdub as a service.
