I am increasingly worried that with mail services being increasingly centralized across 4-5 major providers we'll soon find it quite difficult to continue using mailing lists and have them reliably deliver mail to all participants. Heck, I've been battling with Gmail over the weekend due to it arbitrarily deciding that Robert Richter is receiving way too much mail. Git-bug, on the other hand, is a great internal bug tracker for automatically generated bug reports -- it already provides the necessary structured platform, is decentralized, easily clonable and offline-able, and does not suffer from some mail provider arbitrarily deciding throttle its traffic for no obvious reason. ..
