Yes, better. That's what I meant anyway.

I still want the pull requests as email, and I still think email is
often the best way to discuss things.

It was more the "patch-bomb" model that I think it really wearing
people down. I know it used to wear me down. I'm *so* much happier
doing pull requests than handling patches.
