Ask if they are open to move to something else /s
I have to be honest, and no offense to GNU folks, but I am really not enjoying this barrier to entry. This cognitive overload is something I'm not comfortable with.
Understandable. Unfortunately the people in power of those services have to change. There's no other way.
Fun fact the guy behind awk sent in a patch via email cuz he thought git was too complicated or not worth the hassle.
git was designed to accept patches over email. How else would you do it?
man git-send-emailCognitive overload? From IRC and mailing lists? It makes me doubt whether you'd be able to contribute anything, anyway.
WOW YOU ARE SUCH A NICE PERSON
He's not wrong though. If IRC and mailing lists fall into the too-hard basket, id hate to think of where GNU-style C code falls. Bottom of the too-hard cliff?
Yes they are wrong. A contribution may consist of "merely" a bug report. Even just asking questions may indicate that the UX or documentation is lacking.
