I would really prefer to not have to use a web page for contributing to Guix. I find the tools `git send-email` and `git am` to be very easy to use and much faster than a web site. The really nice thing about email is that one can do it with a *very* wide variety of tools and interfaces. Web pages, on the other hand, basically have a single interface, and you have to be a web developer to change it for yourself. But, some people don't prefer email. Considering that, my opinion is that the ideal situation would be a hybrid mail / web interface, where the two components could be used interchangeably. Work done on one interface would automatically show up in the other interface. Does this exist?
