Yeah it’s mad. Tbh I don’t think GitHub PRs are the best workflow, but I absolutely know that git send-email is the worst. I tried to use it once to contribute to OpenSBI, which inexplicably also insists on it. Suffice it to say my patch was never merged…
They wanted me to make some changes and with the normal workflow that’s just git commit and git push. With git send-email I have no fucking idea and it got beyond the point where I had enough cared enough to fight the process.
The Linux kernel development workflow, the purpose for which git was invented, makes use of emailed patches https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html
… which arguably makes them not “normal people” (referring to the earlier comment).
Surely, most people use different, more integrated tooling.
