Not related to Git + git-email. I just want to say that I love the way this website is structured. Also, it renders fast.

I love this. This is how it was done back in the days of usenet. People would email patches to the linux kernel. Hackers, working alone, late at night, strange times, strange places. Cultivating their work and skills and then ... shoot ... sending an email! Their contribution. So cool!

Maybe we should go back to this. Get rid of the whole github thing. Every group their own little mailing list. Laboring in private!

Weird way to list and sort OSs there.

Microsoft Windows but last, due to the W I guess but macOS has no Apple in it.

The official name of the operating system built by Microsoft is Microsoft Windows. For the OS developed by Apple it's macOS. These are their actual names, this has no personal bias in it.

Very poetic, but also not much different to the current state. Just clicking to open a PR instead of sending an email attachment.

sr.ht does that

I don’t find it very user friendly (well, at all), but if you want a git forge that does that, you can use it.

correct. Opening a PR triggers an email. No difference at all.

Many oss projects still do this, don't they. I am subscribed to debian and python mail lists. Debian's lists are highly active.

This site seems to be made by Drew DeVault who also runs sourcehut.
