Looks like we have reached the consensus ;-)

There are multiple options to submit patches
(direct e-mail to one of us, post to the list, GitHub).
All they are valid, but I'd suggest to encourage people to use GitHub.
The added value is a publicly archived track in form of ticked in the Issues,
laying closer to the source code than the list archives.
This also helps to display "what needs to be done" for potential contributors
aiming to bash some bugs, review patches.
Finally, it helps to keep things unforgotten.
IMO, GitHub is simply far more convenient.

I think that's simply inscribed in the nature of Git.
Many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.
