btw: do you have any pointers to documentation that can help me understand why the kernel developers still use email as the primary channel for submitting patches? Given the fact that git gracefully handles the transmission of code, the handling of all code via email appears archaic and too complicated to me. (no flame war intended, I just want to learn about the reasons!) ;)
Traditionally, patches on the mailing list make it easy to review & comment patches by everyone.
What is the alternative you have in mind (no vendor lock-in please) ?
