+\r
+You can browse the source code online at [1], and see the issues and\r
+patches tracked at [2] (details at [3]). When you're developing an email\r
+tool, all the problems start looking like email. You've just submitted\r

+\r
+Unsurprisingly, we use mailing list based review of patches contributed\r
+by email, and tracked similar to the issues. (The Notmuch Emacs\r
+interface is rather well suited for handling emailed patches.)\r
+Personally I don't think github pull requests would sit well with the\r
+review work flow. We also maintain fairly high standards for the\r
+contributions we accept, so the review has a significant role in the\r
+process.\r
+\r

+\r
+This part is trivial, but on its own it doesn't provide any obvious\r
+benefits.\r

+\r
+I'm sure all of this would be entirely possible; I'm not so sure it\r
+would be worth the effort. But hey, if someone is willing to do the\r
+work, patches are welcome. By email. ;)\r
