Hey, I wish to contribute patches to Debian packages, but I am confused about how I should go about doing so. The Debian Handbook says that using GitLab might make it easier for maintainers to merge changes, but somebody on an IRC channel told me that the old email-based workflow is still the dominant way of delivering patches to developers. I find it easier to work with GitLab. What should I do? Should my preference depend on the package maintainer's preferences?
