Hi,
I’m a privacy conscious OCD clean freak.
I’ve tried to sign up for GitHub twice using a VPN and a privacy focused email provider. I’ve been effectively shadow banned both times behind invasive 2FA.
Between this experience, and the (hopefully) growing social awareness of the constant, callous Microsoft Layoffs; the great Microsoft AI Grift; the great Microsoft Azure Palestinian Genocide Denial; etc, etc…
I find it very, very easy to wholly and completely reject
github.com/flathub
as a viable means of collaboration.
With that said, I am curious: is it possible to collaborate with Flathub without GitHub?
Specifically, I really just need to get patches to the right people. Synchronous or A-synchronous communication is helpful too.
There seems to be a mailing list, but it appears to be mostly for moderation, less so piecemeal collaboration.
I can stalk individual contributors and hopefully email them directly, but on the other hand I can already see the replies telling me to kindly piss off to some GitHub issue tracker.
I suppose in a perfect world, I post patches here, and nice people percolate said patches into PRs on GitHub.
