I for one would never contribute to a project that requires one of the above. I know some will shoot back with "but Linux!", but that's the exception that proves the rule.

And projects that want emailed patches might consider it a good filter for the sorts of contributors they want.

And maybe those projects don't want your spend time on your contributions if sending an email is already too much effort for you.

I think that's exactly why they keep their existing workflows :)

They’re not exactly begging for your contribution, are they? It’s very much voluntary. They’re just stating how to communicate with them.
