FSF has an energetic system for campaigning for donations that seems to work pretty well for them. > - Personally, I like doing development over e-mail and debbugs, due to how this integrates well with Emacs functionality. It does not appeal to me to have to log in to some heavyweight forge Web site, through a Web browser I despise, to have to participate. I would be interested in other APIs and tools if I can utilize them all through just Emacs. If you're interested in this topic there's quite a few different discussions in the email archive, but it's never really achieved a conclusion. There are many contributors who enjoy the current process, so I don't think anyone's proposing removing that. It's about whether the project could 'add' a forge-pr process - so it's an 'Email *and* '. This is just background info as it's not the main aim of this thread. Steve / Futurile
