SMTP is just a protocol to exchange information. It's no more primitive than the mechanisms that power fork-PR workflow. What makes it impossible for a client to display issue threads and patches like Github does? What makes it impossible to import patches directly from client into a git repository? What makes it impossible to design a simple utility to 'push' a git branch as a set of patches? If the evidence for that is the current state of affairs, I consider it simply as a result of no one having an incentive to invest in a non-centralized workflow - that's not a proof of it being unviable. Making it noob-friendly takes work that nobody has yet put in.
