You could be absolutely objectively correct in what you are saying. IMHO it's 
not really relevant. There are too many people now that are going to expect a 
GitHub-like workflow and they will be disappointed if we tell them they have to 
use email. It's really that simple.

just because that's what most people are familiar with.

I think we should. We should care about most people's experiences and cater to 
that.

> If anyone says that it's hard because they're not used to it, we
shouldn't drop the idea. Instead, we should create better documentation,
tutorials and guides to support people coming from the GitHub model or
people that are totally new to contributing to free software projects.

Or we could just make it easy to begin with and not waste people's time.

Again, I might like to do things how you are saying after giving it a try. But 
I would be part of a minority that would even give it a try. Most people would 
just not bother at all.
