I mean discussion in email is less efficient than directly in code,
where you can point out why this line is not good, and how that line
needs improvement, etc.
If you're interested, I'll share some discussion of the git developers
themselves. The git-community itself works only with e-mail. They don't
have a bug tracker, and all the code, of all developers goes through the
mailing list.
See the following discussion which took place in the last few days:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/191835
Some quotes from this thread:
"... the design of git was created with the idea of handling patches via
e-mail in mind."
"I run a project that is mainly hosted on github, but I absolutely
positively refuse to use their web interface for anything."
"I want everything in **one** interface, and I want it just the way
**I** want it, and it shouldn't (necessarily) dictate how **you** should
work. Email is just that."
