I am an Emacs enjoyer. My biggest issue with Emacs is that development is still done via a mailing list and patches. I wish they would adopt a Git front-end (web UI) workflow.

It's really not that bad, it's just different. There's pros and cons.

https://git-send-email.io/ has a great tutorial for getting started.

There's probably also a lot of emacs contributors that use emacs as their mail client that would be disrupted by replacing it with something web based.

I think the mailing list flow is a hindrance to attracting the next generation of contributors.

The further I get into "emacs for everything" the more I appreciate using email for everything.

You can use emacs as web client

As an occasional developer of PostgreSQL which also does development on the mailing list I see pros and cons with it. It is harder to discuss lines of codes in a review on the mailing list but the nature of the mailing list (threading, etc) promotes much more nuanced and constructive discussions about patches on a higher level. Something which I have yet to see in any project on Github.

Gitlab has some threading support but not very good one.
