Git isn't the primary VCS in use; nor is it integral to the workflow.
Its use is to make contributions from outside of OpenBSD easier, and
to have an easier way of managing the portable tmux version.  When you
send through patches, no matter how fine-grained and lovely they are,
they all get squashed in to one since they end up in CVS on OpenBSD
anyway.  But don't let that bother you -- a nice set of patches makes
for easy reviewing.

As you had it there is correct; that git-send-email was slow for you
is orthogonal.

Sending pull-requests to this list is meaningless since Git isn't
being used in that way.

I did have a few notes on this once regarding the correct "policy" for
contributors; perhaps I will add a sentence about this to the NOTES
file.
