Is there any way to get gitdub as a free service for open source projects?

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?

Well, let's take this in bitesized chunks. And make it much easier to deploy. Via Docker.

I could make a Dockerfile to wrap this, I suspect. I'm no Ruby person, but Docker is easy ;-)

Theory, if we can get that far it makes hosting a breeze, and then we can see about what and where we can do that for free.

Thoughts?

You can use this in the interim: https://app.github-file-watcher.com/ It is not very verbose and aggregates changes, but it is still better than nothing, especially this week with its brownout.
