why so adamant about mailing list though?

[kasperk81]

every pull request you are closing because of "mailing list" argument is a lost opportunity and slap on the face of potential contributor.

i get it, it's "old dogs, new tricks" sort of a thing when it comes to pull request vs. mailing list flow (ycombinator is full of reasons to support both), but opensbi is relatively a new project. it doesn't have legacy like linux kernel, so why not keep things modern? LLVM project moved from mailing list to github pull requests, so can this project. makes no sense to use 80's tech for new repos..

I agree with this fully. It's ridiculous.

They can't even be bothered to just disable pull requests on this repo...
