I know Drew is very adamant about using mailing lists instead of pull requests. However, I like the public nature of pull requests and how they archive discussions.
Is there anything that already exists out there to bring that functionality to the email workflow?
- ddevault 6y agoYes, SourceHut mailing lists have public archives. Some examples from our official mailing lists: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-announce https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-announce https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-ops https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-ops Additionally, unlike GitHub, these discussions have been forwarded to all list subscribers, any of whom could trivially turn them into another public archive, independently of sourcehut. Such an archive is also available to list admins in one click for both export and import, in a standard file format. With DKIM and PGP signatures and such, you can even preserve the authenticity of these messages across arbitrary sources.
- CivBase 6y agoThat's perfect. Thanks!
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoMost mailing lists have archives; doesn't that do what you want?
