However, issues are lost forever. Python does not use &amp;quot;issues&amp;quot; feature for good.&lt;p&gt;One way to avoid email without centralization is setting up Gerrit. That is how Ring [1] and LineageOS (former CyanogenMod) [2] manage their &amp;quot;pull requests&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;Still, being able to submit patches via email is an absolutely necessary skill for everyone who considers himself a hacker. Lack of it makes you unable to contribute to many great projects, such as all suckless [3] projects and Linux itself.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;review.lineageos.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;review.lineageos.org&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;suckless.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;suckless.org&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>laurentdc</author><text>Yes!&lt;p&gt;I quite like the idea of &amp;quot;centralizing&amp;quot; development on GitHub, or similar services.
