While logged in you go to any repository on GitHub, including Asterisk,
https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk and and click the "Watch" button to
the left of "Fork". There are various options but if you want to be more
refined in what you receive notifications for go to "Custom" and you can
select which things. "Releases" and "Security alerts" being the best option
for most people. GitHub has an entire documentation section on
subscriptions/notifications[1] with lots of details.

If you use other open source projects on GitHub, this is also useful since
you can do the same with them.
