I have been giving this one a lot of thought. I jumped to sourcehut for my personal projects and was amazed how viscerally pleasing a [PATCH] email thread could be. I am convinced there is a big psychological difference between discussions via Pull Requests and discussions via email/mailing lists. I can’t pin point it but it is almost palpable.

A question I have with the process is: can email based workflow still work with for a continuous integration/delivery pipeline?

Doesn't sourcehut already support that? (https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/)

Same :-). I also love how people don't have to create an account to send a patch. They just need to send me an e-mail. That is not a problem on GitHub (because everybody is forced to have an account there), but it is if you want to host your repo somewhere else.

SourceHut has a CI feature integrated with the mailing-lists: https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/
