One other distinction I would make between this and the email centric workflow that (almost) every mailing list that I know of these days has is the inclusion of a publicly accessible URL with an index of messages.
- palata 3y agoNot sure I get that. Are you saying that they lack an index of messages?
- chrisfinazzo 3y agoNot quite - more that there’s a UI on that index. The LKML [mirror][] has a page with links to the various lists, but if you dig around in those links, there doesn’t appear to be a way to post new items or reply to existing messages in a browser. It’s just text - The mechanism of action is still sending emails to various handles to perform these activities.

- palata 3y agoYeah to me it's a feature. I don't need everything in a browser. In fact I am happier with dedicated programs (an email client, an FTP server, an IRC client, etc). It means that I can choose a client that works for me. Whereas I cannot choose the UI I want for GitHub.
