This really seems like the dichotomy that drives people towards central services like GitHub or GitLab. We need an alternative that doesn't involve email, or at the very least, doesn't require people to use email directly. Half of the pain in the process comes from coaxing email clients that don't treat mail text as sacrosanct to leave it alone and not mangle it. (Some of that would go away if we accepted attachments with inline disposition, but not all of it. All of it would go away if the submission process just involved "git push" to an appropriate location.) - Josh Triplett
