I would disagree on the "friction" part. To contribute, you have to "fork" the project, add your "fork" as a new git remote, push to it, and only then can you create a pull request. In comparison, contributing using email is literally just two simple git commands without ever having to leave the terminal. > Moreover now being subscribed to that list I get 50 emails a day that I > have to wait through.

I actually agree that the mailing list can be somewhat annoying as well, which is why I like that on SourceHut you can send a patch to their mailing lists without being subscribed and it's standard practice that people Cc you on the replies. I really feel like this should be standard practice; subscribing to the mailing list makes no sense if you only want to send in a single patch, and it increases the effort required by flooding you with emails which aren't relevant to you, as you say. I personally find the mailing list much less annoying than using GitHub even when subscription is required, but I feel like without having to subscribe it's the most straight-forward way really. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
