That's right.

IDK to be honest. I really like the offline friendlines of emails and it's a huge deal for me right now.

Overall, I'm good with sourcehut, but sometimes I have troubles with poorly formed patch series without cover letters or sent to a separate thread instead of reroll to the same one.

 @123e16e8 @6adcf666 How about sending a PR over email, instead of the patches themselves?

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull

It seems like this flow would minimize complexity of email based development, while retaining many (but not all) of the benefits for offline work. I have never actually used this flow though, so I'm not sure how well it works in practice.

 @e5b72764 @6adcf666 having patches in emails gives an ability to apply them, write a review without having a network.

Probably pull requests are good for some use cases, but not very offline friendly :)
