I would really prefer to not have to use a web page for contributing to
Guix. I find the tools `git send-email` and `git am` to be very easy to
use and much faster than a web site.

The really nice thing about email is that one can do it with a *very*
wide variety of tools and interfaces. Web pages, on the other hand,
basically have a single interface, and you have to be a web developer to
change it for yourself.

But, some people don't prefer email. Considering that, my opinion is
that the ideal situation would be a hybrid mail / web interface, where
the two components could be used interchangeably. Work done on one
interface would automatically show up in the other interface. Does this
exist?
