Using the git protocol to exchange commits and branches is much more powerful than sending emails. And IMHO mailing lists are completely obsolete as a communication tool in general. The more they wait to replace the current system, the more "organisational debt" will accumulate and progressively hinder the project.

The development process for the Linux Kernel is now mature and well established, and because of the unique size of the project, it has specific needs and requirements. A major change is not immediately needed, and would be risky and costly, for sure.
However, the process was mostly designed before git existed. Using the git protocol to exchange commits and branches is much more powerful than sending emails. And IMHO mailing lists are completely obsolete as a communication tool in general. The more they wait to replace the current system, the more "organisational debt" will accumulate and progressively hinder the project.
Kernel developers would probably bring a lot to the ecosystem by contributing the required features to an existing tool, or by building their own modern tool, like Linus did with git, or Google with Gerrit.Last edited by wagaf; 17 May 2022, 07:51 PM.

And any tool like Gitlab, Gerrit, GitHub etc have webhooks allowing to do reviews from the command line if you wish so.

Not every kernel developer has a graphical interface available.
The mail client doesn't require anything other than an input/output stream (terminal client, serial port, SSH, etc.) for its interface.
On the other hand a browser requires a graphical display for it, which may not be readily available (e.g. when debugging a display driver).
