To actually commit patches is even more trivial than it was with SVN. This is not the hard step. "Merge if CI passes"... Well, it would be nice if we *had* some CI system :-) (But commits should *not* depend on that, and conversely, you should be able to run something on the CI without committing it, as well.) > The comments could be archived on a mailing list.

We often have discussions on gcc-patches@ (instead of on gcc@). This is mostly natural, and artificially moving that to another ML because some tool is lousy is making new problems, not solving any.
