    Yeah, though youtube is a big usage case. I think it didn't take off because there were (desktop) consumer GPUs with HEVC support for much earlier than VP9.
    theres that, and the encoder in ffmpeg is generally... not great it preforms good, but it's not fast enough for people, SVT-VP9 seems like it could be a good encoder, but it's too little too late. it's not like VP9 has much interest anymore since AV1 came to the scene.

    Unclear why you believe that kernel developers aren't well suited for determining what works or what is obsolete for their needs and make their own choices including developing tools which they have done already, given said kernel developers include Linus who created git in the first place.

    Not every kernel developer has a graphical interface available.
    I think even Nigerian people have computers with displays, what do you mean?

    I don't advocate for Linux to use GitHub

    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.

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

    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).
