Is there a general problem with this approach? Gmail has been my
recommendation for everyone needing a free email account -- it's still
possible to configure it to be perfectly usable with patch-based workflows,
even if it has its own ideas about web ui treading.

The fact that Gmail forces folks to enable 2fa for app passwords is an added
bonus in my book. :)

There are other alternatives, but they are not gratis or don't work well for
sending patches. I'm also aware that gmail is not reliable for certain
geographical locales, so it's not a solution that suits everyone. We have
recently partnered with migadu.com and will start providing email accounts for
Linux devs who cannot reliably use any other solution either due to their
employer doing nasty things to outgoing mail, or some other reason. At $20 a
year, migadu's pricing is hard to beat, though I know it's not for everyone.
