No, fixing a tool that throws such a harder-to-read patch series in reader's mailbox is *not* something I'd spend my primary focus on, especially when many contributors are perfectly capable of sending reasonably formatted series without using such a tool under development. That won't stop those who want to improve the tool. But I'd wish those who want to make Git better spend their time on making Git, over making GitGitGadget, better.
I appreciate the feedback in how this series caused reviewer pain. Hopefully this date issue is now resolved. Any further feedback is welcome.
I'm choosing to use and contribute to GitGitGadget not because I'm incapable of sending series myself, but because I _have_ had difficulty. Using the email submissions creates a friction that I'm willing to overcome, but we are probably missing out on contributors who are not willing to push through that friction. Perhaps having another way for new contributors to feel welcome is an indirect way to make Git better.
