I wish a certain open source project would take notice of the reasoning here...

  The friction and overhead of mailing list development is seen as a feature, not a bug, for certain devs who prefer an exclusive environment. Moving to a modern platform with real collaborative development features is a mature move.

    I have seen people arguing "mailing patches is better than github" more than once here on HN. I am like, whatever.

      Some times HN comments are a time machine that reveal people stuck in the past who hate anything modern. A couple weeks back someone was arguing that websites these days are too slow. So slow that it took them minutes of waiting time to order something online. Then they revealed that they were using a computer that was nearly two decades old and didn’t even have enough RAM to meet the requirements of a modern OS and browser. “But it should work!” was their refrain.

    For those with a power-user email setup geared towards mailing lists and patch handling, modern web-based platforms are a substantial usability regression.
