        I can do a pull request via email

        Why do issue trackers need to be connected?

          Genuinely, pull requests being off platform without good integrated diff and merge conflict resolution tooling just doesn’t work at a certain scale.

              I would argue that Linux kernel scale basically doesn’t work. It is a huge barrier to would-be developers to get into. You might argue that’s a feature, but it’s pretty hard to argue that it doesn’t add a lot of friction to the process
