I haven't heard of any projects but Linux and Git itself using this.
Sourcehut uses it, it's actually the only way to interact with repos hosted on it.
It definitely feels outdated, yet it's also how git is designed to work well with. Like git makes it really easy to re-write commit history, while also warning you not to force push re-written history to a public repo (Like e.g. a PR), that's because none of that is an issue with the email workflow, where each email is always an entirely isolated new commit.
I haven't heard of anyone using Soucehut. (I guess Soucehut itself counts though.)
