Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

    If mailing lists had a view like reddit / lemmy / slashdot / hackernews, I might be more willing to use them, but that wouldn't solve contributions for me. I have no idea how to format emails to comment on code and then follow ensuing discussions. And how would CI work?
