Same here. In my case, snail-mail would mean a 2.5km hike through a
freezing winter wonderland to the nearest mailbox that's used to send
rather than being receive-only. So, 5 km there and back. It could
easily take over two hours and might even be dangerous depending on
the weather.

Not every potential contributor lives in downtown Megalopolis, Coastal
State, USA.

I can only imagine the hoops you'd have to go through to send a CA
from Left Nostril Bend, Nicaragua, or Nosebleed Altitudes, Nepal or
someplace like that.

And from the sounds of it, contributing a useful piece of code
anonymously is right out, though that probably isn't going to have as
big an effect as the inconvenience factor. Few will probably want to
contribute anonymously. Lots are likely to want to contribute without
leaving their desks, and almost all that want to contribute aren't
going to want to hike miles or pay international postage fares to do
it.
