@T_X I don't understand why people love these webby interfaces to git so much. I worked on a bug the other day that required me to create accounts and sign in to 4 different forges. Some had capchas, or required me to verify my email. One had inexplicable failing CI tests that had nothing to do with my patch.
git send-email is right there, folks. It always has been. No need to create an account. You already have email. No need to leave your terminal.
🤷

@dentangle ok, of git-send-email I'm really not a fan of :D. I've seen notable kernel maintainers failing to properly apply my patches, causing encoding issues with my author name (but maybe we can blame my parents for that :P). And then Linux net wants custom [PATCH] tag formats (and I often forget, if it's supposed to be [PATCH net-next v2] or [PATCH v2 next] or similar... and then Patchwork and CIs etc. still try to somehow figure something out from that... imo it's a patchy patch mess :D.
