#2The most impressive thing about this for me is that Drew managed to work on this for 2 years privately and actually get it out there. I'm lucky if I can maintain concentration on a side-project for more than 2 weeks. To then have it pass the first year mark of being a public alpha is a great achievement, and it's an impressive service.

#3Are there any plans to have a web interface for "git by email" contributions? I think it's really cool to keep contribution decentralised, but it's also nice to have a record on the web of the review process.

Yep, this is planned and in-progress. You can now prepare patchsets on the web for submission via email (check out the video near the top of TA), and code review threads are parsed and shown on the web as well (see the screenshot under the video). The plan is to keep improving this so that you can perform code reviews on the web, which become emails under the covers, which will make for a decentralized, email-based code review system which you can interact with on the web in a fashion similar to GitHub or GitLab PRs/MRs.

The guy has a tremendous amount of patience. Good work drew =)

#7I read the landing page, but I'm still not quite sure what the product is. Is it a GitLab competitor? That's what it seems to be seeing as it supports hosted git repositories, CI, code review, etc.
I'm not sure what "Composable Unix-style mini-services" means.

#8I'm amused that the example screenshot for lists.sr.ht is an email thread from qemu-devel, because we had to ask the person who'd been gatewaying that list to sr.ht to stop doing so: sr.ht bounces HTML email where qemu-devel does not, so people posting to qemu-devel were getting complaining emails from sr.ht and getting confused by them. A "no HTML" policy is fine if the list is hosted directly there, but it doesn't really work if the sr.ht "list" has just been subscribed to some other mailing list hosted elsewhere...

Each service can be hosted independent from one another I'd imagine. Contrary to GitLab where each service, Git hosting, CI, ticketing, is all bundled into a single monolithic application.

It's basically software development project hosting (like gitlab), but for people who prefer mailing lists to web apps.
