How about accepting bug reports and patches by email? You could make this an experiment and tell us how it went.

I can already tell you - my email has always been out there. Over the last 2+ decades, I received 0 patches and 1 bug report across everything I released. And I really don't want to deal with a patch attachment. So no, I wouldn't say that's the way.

Interesting. I wonder if the other channel was closed and pointed to your email, how many it would get.
