I think that's something to ponder; can we have a workflow where drive-by contributors can use something that has a lower learning/setup curve, but long-term contributors might opt for something more powerful? I think SubmitGit is a step in that direction. It does still require switching to the mailing list for subsequent conversation, though. It would be interesting to see something like SubmitGit that puts its own email in the "From", and that processes email replies into PR comments, and then subsequent PR comments into emails (i.e., part of my "dream tool" from earlier). It's not clear to me whether the result would just end up being irritating for both sides to use (because it doesn't _quite_ conform to the norms of each format). But it would be fun to find out. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
