+1 for a GitHub +1 for GitLab +1 for a self hosting GitLab +1 for joining to any existing OS hosting -1 for plain emails.
As a contributor but not a core developer I would like to ask. Please tell me honestly. Is the send-patch approach just an IQ test? Because I failed it :) My few patches that I sent are just lost somewhere. Yes, I already know about the patchwork (or how it was called?) but I remember that I missed a NULL check in one place but decided not to send a new update patch just because it's too boring. So if you ever decide to apply the "[PATCH] --header option to pass additional raw HTTP header" please let me know and I'll update it. I tried to contribute on a Weekend and I had only an hour or two while my child was sleeping but I wasted all my time configuring git send-email. I clearly understand that OpenWrt developers mightn't receive many PRs with a poor quality but still this makes many enthusiasts to be involved and increase a trust to the code base. Speaking of which hosting is to choose I really agree with all concerns, even about the LibreJS. And I'm certain that one day we'll have distributed/federated git hostings and comments from one system will be seen by participants in other systems. They are actively developed and this is just a matter of time when they become useful enough. Note that users also need some time to "grow" their skills. For many Junior developers the GitHub is a synonym of Git. At the same time the "centralised" way when many users are already on GitHub even today makes a lot of benefits. We can grow a community and then move to any other place. Speaking about GitHub and access to it from sanctioned territories this is a really big concern. I live in Ukraine but I am going to visit my friend in Crimea for her wedding. And the official GitHub app may detect my location and I'll be blocked even if I as a Ukrainian citizen visited a Ukrainian territory. In my previous work I had two colleagues who often visited their relatives in Crimea. But let's be honest: that's not only GitHub but any website in the US or in NATO countries, and not only in countries that practice blocking like Myanmar. In any country there is potentially a risk of getting blocked. Except for Sealand, maybe only Mongolia and Uruguay don't use blocking until. So even hosting on GitHub may be a "good enough" option.
