This is a very long (4.5k words long) and in depth article. Maybe you could write it with a shorter TL;DR focused on the main differences between mailing lists vs. github. With more in depth discussions like diff formats and mailing list software at a later point in time. Right now it just reads as a massive blob of text intertwined with detailed tutorials in between. Anyway, IMHO they're two different use cases with two different audiences. I quite enjoyed the sometimes not so nice discussions on patches on the mplayer ml. But I also like the fairly simple fork, merge request github workflow(but maybe that's because i'm no longer an active maintainer anywhere). I think there should be more mailing lists for some things. It seems to me as if people tend to see a lot of things as an either or. Either you use mailing lists for everything or you put all your annoying conversations in github issues. Why?
