I feel like the advantages of a email-based workflow nowadays is more onthe maintainer side of things (as managing large projects is easieranother thing worth pointing out here is that the harder it is to test a submitted patchset locally, the fewer non-committer reviews will happen.and if all the review work rests on the shoulders of the committers, then there'll be long response times on submissions, or straight out forgotten/ignored submissions (khm). especially if it's about some hw or some sw that none of the committers care about, or could test locally (e.g. Trezor support: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65037 that doesn't even build in master).
I would like to hear from committers if non-committer reviews are helpful, because I don't really know how or what I can comment on for incoming patches on packages I'm not really familiar with.
Also do "this builds and works locally" comments help?
