That's weird - I can see the patch content of pull requests & it seems to also be in the archive. for example: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/anaconda-patches@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/OTN2IRPIVTTGF24G7WCSWC7O2WP3L2V7/ > Additionally, unless someone makes an in-line comment in the patch, > there usually is no context provided in responses.

Only possible issue from the community/contributor perspective could be that there are some people who don't use or don't want to use GitHub, for various reasons. On the other hand I don't think we really got any such contributions recently & we could use the devel list for that if needed. > > I know we can disassociate the webhook email forwarder from GitHub > pretty easily.

It is running on the Fedora infrastructure, so I guess the contacting the Infra people might be a way to go: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure > > Anyway, thoughts? Yeah, why not. :) Just some remarks above. > > Samantha > > _______________________________________________ > Anaconda-devel-list mailing list > Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list > _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
