That's what bothers me as well. I'm not opposed to a subsystem replacing git request-pull + email with git-push, provided that an e-mail gateway forwards the pull request to the appropriate mailing lists. I'm also no opposed to a subsystem offering git-push as an optional alternative to git-send-email to submit patches, provided the above e-mail gateway. What I don't want is having to create accounts and authenticate the git-push, as that would make drive-by contributions more difficult. For the replacement of pull requests I could live with having to submit my ssh public key (but not individually to all subsystems), but for the alternative to patch submission by e-mail we would need to support unauthenticated git-push. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
