I really feel this is missing the point of what I am trying to explain.
I agree, email discussions make it a real conversation. But that's not
the *only* way to have a conversation about a patch. GitHub is one
example of that, where code-specific comments can be sent, and
more general discussions can also occur at the same time. This
requirement is not difficult to fullfil.
What I can understand people being after (at least what I initially
mourned) is the convenience of receiving an email when something
new happened, and the convenience of being able to just reply to
that email to send their comment. But I have found in practice that
following the link provided in the email is inconsequential, and
in return, the web interface opens doors to lots of things one
cannot do with a simple email.
There are not a whole lot of hosting platforms out there, so my concern
is that, by making email integration a requirement, you're automatically
eliminating a number of solutions which could answer your requirements
just as well, only just differently, and from there, lose some great
features out there.
