I believe relying on Github for an account, rather than on a not-yet-existing code commons organization, is the trouble. E-mail accounts are used left and right, and Sourcehut apparently makes it easy to collaborate on code via e-mail. Delta Chat even makes chat and webapps work over e-mail!

E-Mail is an outdated and terrible way of communication. Sure, it's still present in a lot of places, but no future proof technology should rely on E-Mail!

Do try Delta Chat, and Sourcehut if you have more time. They use e-mail as a transport very well.
