Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

So not really baked in at all then?

why wouldn't it be? you can send emails from web uis too. you can share diffs however you desire. you can have a remote for each developer, and push/pull changes to each other. the github mindset kind of ruined the resilience and distributedness of git: one central remote, one account authority, one central place where discussing MRs... ever forgejo is not as good as decentralized git: what's a forgejo identity?

meanwhile git has been decentralized and distributed since day one, linux is still developed in a decentralized and distributed way and forgepub is just not ready and not even close.

sending emails with an attached diff to many ppl is too hard? make a nice offline gui doing that and we're distributed. github was a psyop to make us un-learn git, making it better is silly, like wasting decades searching for "good cigarettes"

Okay, but by definition none of that is "baked into" git...

E-Mail workflow is baked in

git send-email can directly send an email and every committer is identified by a mail address.

Oh, well there you go. Looks like email PRs are baked into git.
