This is a really nasty argument. "Old people" are (1) not the only people who understand mailing lists, (2) not the only people who like mailing lists, and (3) not "set in their ways", so to speak, or failing to "updating their skillset". There are plenty of "twenty-somethings" which use the email workflow. What a gross, ageist comment. >The nice innovation of the pull request by Github achieves a similar flow but with a pretty UI, easy to use tools for commenting, line by line review, search, issue tracker integration, and a bunch of other things that IMHO stopped being optional on most projects. I kind of like the traceability of PR #4 closes issue #13 and successfully cleared CI & received a positive review so it is safe to merge. There is nothing preventing these features from being done with email, either. >You can get a good picture of that via Githubs insights on Linus Torvalds fork of linux. I don't think he uses pull requests though. Is there an issue tracker for linux even? I wrote an article which can offer some insight into the Linux development process: https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/02/Linux-development-is-profoundly-distributed.html https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/02/Linux-development-is-prof...
