    I genuinely do not understand having to sign up to Savannah only for them to delete the account. What is the actual point.

        I agree, but why am I forced to create one if all of my patches are going to come via email?

          If you don’t have commit access you don’t need an account. I contributed many times without ever registering on Savannah.

                I quite like the mailing list submission process. it’s the review time from lack of reviewers that bums me out

                  imho having a more accessible contribution workflow would increase the number of people interested in spending time in reviewing.

                  Regardless of the many problems of web forges today the ability to review only what’s changed between the various revisions of a pull request and the comments in a single view is not achievable with a simple email workflow. You end up reimplementing the PR/MR functionality with other tools, exactly as is happening with the Guix QA tools. I love them but we’re reimplementing gitlab/gitea/codeberg by parsing patch revisions from emails subjects.

                    i think it’s the easiest way they know to filter out the spam/malicious comments. But you’re right, there are better ways
