To clarify: I myself much prefer gitlab's workflow and would use that if it
was available. I think providing a CLI-based workflow (which Anton and some
others have requested) is feasible and fair. If an email variant thereof
can be made and someone wants to fund it, I think that's reasonable. But it
shouldn't block allowing more people to convert to a gitlab-style workflow,
which I consider far superior over what we have now. End of clarification.
