SourceHut may not have the pull request method of Github, may deal pretty much only in plain text, but at least it doesn't abuse your data for money and for others to use. Oh and it's accessible.

@devinprater Honestly we're always a bit scared to use email for patches because it seems like it'd mess up the hash (different committer email on the importing side? I don't know how git does that, and why should it matter who imports it). Is it easier than it seems?

@IceWolf @devinprater this tutorial does a great job of explaining the flow of using email with git (as a contributor)!
git-send-email.io/

@nleigh @devinprater hm... says nothing about how it handles committer email, which nobody ever talks about and we only found out existed when changing names on old commits. >,,>

@nleigh @devinprater like, it's good for the actual "how to do it" part, but says nothing on the stuff I actually want to know.

@IceWolf @nleigh What? We're supposed to avoid top posting? Well hopefully it doesn't mess with Git cause that's what I'll be doing until a good, easy-to-use email client can collapse the quoted text from bottom posting lol

git-send-email.io/#step-4

@devinprater @nleigh Honestly, I'd say if it works ignore whatever "rules" are laid out there.

@devinprater @nleigh (Honestly we just take out top and bottom posting when replying, personally. When we remember. We should change KMail's settings so it doesn't top-post by default.)
