I’m pretty sure GitHub will also let you open a pull request via the command line if you want. Additionally, it emails PR threads to users that subscribe to them (initially maintainers) — so if you’ve got write access and would strongly prefer to keep your email based workflow it is known that it’s possible to keep it.

There are more details here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/maintainer/pull-requests.html, but this is largely irrelevant to this discussion because a) we can do this already (and don't need any help with that), b) our developers and contributors don't use this approach. So it's not what we've been discussing.

In there, users can make 'forks' of the original repository, where a fork is basically a copy of the original repository that belongs to the user's account (and its URL has the user's username in it). The said user can create a new branch, push some changesets into it, and then propose the said branch to the original repository and its developers for merging. By creating a "pull request".

It has all the features of an "issue" (which generally means people can leave comments in it), as well as extra features: it shows the author, the source branch, a multi-line description that the author usually has to fill, the proposed commits, it can show the combined diff of those commits, users can leave comments associated with individual lines of that diff (and the UI displays that neatly), they can lead threaded discussions on said commits (which get semi-hidden as soon as the related code has changed), and the PR tracks the source branch closely, so as soon as the user pushes some new changes to the branch, the information in the PR updates automatically. The PR web page can show the status of the CI build for the proposed branch. The main repository's maintainers can merge the PR with just a couple of clicks with the mouse (this works best with small contributions). There are other features.

* ELPA: where is chess developed?

Hi Emacs,

I'm interested in working with the Chess package. According to 
1b67906a62fe84cf838f7bb88675af69e0efff13 [0], Chess is developed in the 
the main ELPA repository. However, it seems that the previous upstream 
location [1] has seen more development activity than the external/chess 
branch [2].

[0] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/commit/?id=1b67906a62fe84cf838f7bb88675af69e0efff13
[1] https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-chess
[2] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/log/?h=externals/chess

What's going on here? Did the project fork and there are two development 
streams going forward? Did the aspiration to develop chess in the ELPA 
repository fail, and we should switch back to jwiegley/emacs-chess as 
upstream? If I package this for my distribution, which one should I use?

Please copy me on replies.

Thanks,
Jack
