MODERATORS
Genuinely, pull requests being off platform without good integrated diff and merge conflict resolution tooling just doesn't work at a certain scale.
Like linux kernel scale?
I would argue that Linux kernel scale basically doesn't work. It is a huge barrier to would-be developers to get into. You might argue that's a feature, but it's pretty hard to argue that it doesn't add a lot of friction to the process
It's email.. everyone knows how to use email, everyone has an email address. It's the lowest friction possible.
