The only way sending patches through email would actually work is if there was some interface on top of that process that managed that. By that point, it's probably easier to just use ActivityPub/HTTP as your protocol rather than SMTP/IMAP.

I'm a little confused, there are interfaces on top of email based patch workflows? What do you mean?
Absolutely, but it's depressing that we have to build a whole new system instead of dovetailing with a system that not only works but is already universally deployed.
