Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

    Yeah super niche projects like the Linux Kernel and Git

      I think they meant new projects starting today, not currently existing ones.

        Indeed. I wonder if LinuxNet / #linux is still around, actually. That was interesting back in the day, and later meeting many of the characters at conferences and meetups. IRC was great. Patches by email, otoh… Good that it is possible, but PRs/MRs are nicer.
