@andyprice hah! mailing patches has (un)officially died today. now, I wonder what the new adopted system will be. knowing Torvalds, it can either be something well-established like gitlab, or turbo extravagant, like writing something from scratch, and I see either as equally possible

I think that's much more important than the email vs. PR bit, which isn't *that* much of a difference, it doesn't solves social problems.
