GitHub is a problem because it's proprietary. Are you refusing to apply patches unless they come from GitHub pull requests? Because if so, that's a real big problem. By requiring that contributors use proprietary development tools, it undermines our freedom. There is a good essay about this by Benjamin Mako Hill: https://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html The openwrt.org organisers have infrastructure for mailing lists and I imagine they would be open to hosting lists for feed projects. Would the routing group be willing to make use of a development mailing list if openwrt.org offered to host one for them? That way you could accept contributions for the routing feed without requiring the use of GitHub but also without having to monitor the main, high-volume openwrt-devel mailing list. I've CC'd the openwrt-devel list again in this email as I would expect the administrators of openwrt.org will be present and I hope they might be willing to chime in.
