You repeat this kind of argument which means either me or you do not follow. There is nothing easier than comment on particular line of code when patch is sent to the list and it happens here regularly, sometimes with pretty complex structure of subthreads on the topic, haven't you seen yet? Then we have mailling list with each commit automatically posted, so the same applies for already committed code. At the end it boils down to the choice of your favourite mail client or web-based interface to the list. I don't follow what github offers more (WRT code commenting) except it steals choice of tools particular developer is pleased to use. Pavel
