I think the fact it's so "archaic" or "outdated" is actually a good thing, by increasing friction you make sure only well thought patches make it to the maintainers. Take, for example, how hard it would be to keep patches high quality if they were using GitHub as an upstream instead of a mirror. Also, it's really cool because it's truly decentralized, email is one of the last protocols that are decentralized and well-supported. Overall, I like it and I think it shouldn't change.
