+I read and write code in Emacs. I read and write email in Emacs. I read\r

+\r

+code and write text) in an environment that I don't have control over\r

+\r
+The same is true for people using some other editor or mail client; they\r

+\r
+Funny you should say that; it used to be that emailed patches and\r
+mailing list based review were the common process! I am not sure which\r
+one is more popular these days (or what would be the appropriate metric\r
+for comparing).\r
+\r
+To be honest, I am slightly concerned by the popularity of\r
+github. Despite being a hosting site primarily for open source, it *is*\r
+a proprietary platform. Source code hosting is plain git, but AFAIK all\r
+the rest (review process, issue tracking, and so on) is pretty much at\r
+the whim and mercy of the company running it. They make a change, you\r
+adapt. If you don't want to adapt, it's not easy to switch over to\r
+another service provider either if you've built your process around\r
+github.\r
+\r
+So even if the features of github amazed me (they don't), I would have\r
+pretty strong reservations about relying on them.\r
+\r
+Disclaimer, I don't make the calls for this project, I only speak for\r
+myself.\r
