Yep, that is what the discussion was about - in my opinion every path
should treated equally, which is somehow blocked by the very unique way
this project tends to validate patches.
So either the project is opening up to contributions from different
workflows or we all have to fold our hands and pray that someone is
eager to reactivate patchtest :-)
BTW I think patchtest might be the compromise we are all looking for,
but as of now I see no incentive for everyone out of OE scope to pick up
the pieces that are there.
Concluding from that the options are
- have patchtest being picked up by someone willing to maintain that in
the long run
- completely drop the idea of integrating any kind of linter as of now
I don't want to offend anyone - but a clear yes/no decision would be
helpful - just begging for someone to pick the pieces of patchtest isn't
going to really help

I think Richard tried to allude to this in the github conversation, but I

Currently, there is only one path for submitting a patch to oe-core: the
mailing list. But for submitting patches to meta-openembedded there are now
two acceptable paths: mailing list and github pull request.
We have to make sure all paths are treated equally.
If the linting is only applied to the github pull request path and not the
mailing list path, then people submitting patches via github will be subject
to more stringent rules than those who use the mailing list.
Inevitably patches will get through via the mailing list that would have
failed the linting process were they sent as github pull requests. The next
person to submit a patch via github will be forced to fixup the linting of not
only their work, but of the recent patches that came in through the mailing
list and were not linted (and had linting issues).
We should always try to make sure all proposed patches are treated the same.
