Pull requests and issue trackers
I can do a pull request via email
Why do issue trackers need to be connected?
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.
