Hi all,

I just noticed that the SourceHut UI actually allows GitHub-like "fork"
workflow to accomodate people who are unable to use git-send-email.

I found the following video demo:

Of course, this doesn't resolve the concerns over PRs/MRs being supposedly
more efficient for code review than ML, but it does solve the accessibility
issues for both sides rather nicely IMHO.
