In the last few days there was also a discussion about how hard it is to filter out relevant/new text from mailing threads, sometimes even if proper spacing is used. I for one like helping my visual system by using interfaces that clearly distinguish additions and deletions, provide me with any context i want in place, integrate but visually clearly separate review comments, group those comments in threads, etc. That is, an interface like github offers. That is an interface that allows me to spend my energy on function, not form and busywork. If it is possible to set up using the suggested tool without detriment to people liking the mailing list style, i don't see what one could have against it. Should experience prove it leads to endless junk submissions it could be reconsidered/mitigations could be put in place. But we cannot estimate how likely that is, and should not be guided in the decision by such reasoning. If it works for git, i don't see why it wouldn't here. I hope more senior devs chime in, as well as someone with sufficient admin right that they could potentially set it up. For the record, despite being on windows, setting up git sendmail was just a matter of google and trying out the simplest of a few procedures i found, done in a jiffy. That said, setting it up and learning how to use it did seem like an extra hurdle, one i gladly took because i cared, but a waste of time nonetheless.
