I will try attaching it. Has using github or similar for easy pull requests been considered?
"Easy" is a relative term. It may be easier for a newcomer, who's used to GH's UI, to submit a small-ish patch, but may be harder for a veteran, accustomed to the Git email flow, to keep track of 600+ open Pull Requests, review them, then add them to the tree (which will never be as simple as hitting "Merge", because of adding tags, sign-offs etc. Another advantage of the Git email flow is that you can always tell from a resulting commit, who was the maintainer approving it, because the original submitter will be the Author and the maintainer the Committer).
Anyways, not trying to downplay this suggestion, just pointing out that it is not that easy. Believe me, I was in your shoes some years back, been using GitHub and then having to learn this "new" (old) way; only that I started out with the Linux kernel list, where attachments of any kind are not allowed -- you *had* to set up `git send-email`, there was no other way. So I did, went through the various hoops set out by Google... and then had to do it again with Microsoft for my college e-mail, and then later again for my company mail... Needless to say none of them went silky smooth the first time.
Well, maybe, just _maybe_, one could set up something like GitGitGadget, that connects the two worlds?
