I am not a part of the Docker team, but I think Docker handles this huge mess of notifications by gunsub:

tl;dr: automatically unsubscribe from Github issues that you are not directly involved in.

So, you can get a notification for every issue or pull request that opens in the project or organization that you are a member of, as usual, but you don't get bombarded by every notification, e-mail and status update for the duration of the life of that issue, and associated follow-up e-mails. If you want the notifications, just get involved in the conversation.

I am sure Phabricator is very good, and I'll check it out, but I don't have to sell my boss GitHub, he's already sold on it. We just need to get on feature branches and pull requests (at least if we're going to grow.)

As someone who recently implemented Phabricator at our company, it's really an amazing piece of technology. It's easy to install and configure, it does pretty much everything you might expect it to do and then some, and there's a lot of nice-to-haves (like closing tasks via commits, associating commits to tasks, connecting tasks together, etc).

Also, the ability to set up Herald rules to do any notifications you want, like 'add me to CC for any code review that touches this file path in any of these repositories', 'set up an audit whenever someone commits changes to the master branch of this repository', etc. It has a ton of flexibility for integrating with other services, like allowing people to authenticate through their Google account, GitHub, Twitter, JIRA, Disqus, Twitch.tv, Mozilla Persona, and obviously LDAP as well, or normal Phabricator-specific username/password authentication.

It's really insane how much integration there is, how rapidly the development is progressing (we found a bug on a Friday and it was fixed by Monday afternoon), and how responsive the dev team is (in #phabricator on Freenode).

All that for free. Pretty great.
