In my not so humble opinion, web interfaces, especially mobile ones,
are even less pretty.

In what way they will be helpful to the development of Python?
Contributors have to install, learn, configure and use a lot of
development tools, comparing to which email tools are just toys.
Python development is not in dire need for contributions, it's rather
in dire need for good contributions, code reviews and documentation
updates, hence it's in dire need of powerful users.
Every one of us was a novice sometime. Thanks goodness, there were
enough golden-hearted power users to tought me in my novice time. Python
community is certainly one of the best in this regard, it deals with
novices in amazingly gentle way. And the outcome of the dealing with
novices IMO should be: we drag novices (some of them kicking and
screaming) to become power users. We should help novices but not
downgrade our tools in the name of novices.
Mine opinion only.
Oleg.
