I have only submitted a few patches, comments and new topics to this project. But I find the use of mailing lists to be a _lot_ less efficient than using a repository hosting service (like GitHub). Advantages with GitHub - Tidier than emails (very much so). Threads are neatly separated in a single list, comments to threads are listed under their respective thread. Threads can be linked. - It's a lot easier to get a total overview of all issues. Especially useful when you'd want to see open issues. Pratyush mentions he has a text-file on his computer where he lists all the currently open issues. We can't see this text-file. And even if we could, we'd still have to navigate the mail archives to find the discussions and read the emails one page at a time. - It's a lot less hassle to submit patches (PRs), easier for everyone. Disadvantages - Git GUI contributors must have a GH account. - All the data (threads, discussions, patches, etc) is not backed up to such a large extent as it is when everyone has a copy of everything in their email inboxes. Best regards, Birger
