Just a guess, but I think right now we receive 50 or so patches for each
PR. That is very deeply ingrained in NuttX userland.

I am just wondering if we are excluding any users by forcing everyone
to use PRs. I personally don't have problems with mixed PRs and
patches, provided that the patches apply clean. I think we should
take the side of the lowest common denominator user and NOT the point
of view that makes our job the slickest.
Remember that the majority of NuttX users do not use git at all. They
use the release tarballs which have all GIT information stripped out.
No GIT and not GIT knowledge is required to use NuttX. I don't know
if it is customary to strip GIT out of Apache tarballs, but still we
need to accept users that have no GIT skills.
It is one of the core principles of NuttX that "all users matter" and
that we do nothing to restrict the use of the OS, especially not to
make out internal life simpler at the expense of a world of users. We
should do the opposite; we should keep the complexit o y inside the
project and do all we can to make NuttX accessible to all users.
