Arun is also developing a similar thing but it's not based on the 
git-notes for the issue system. I don't remember the name, maybe he can 
talk more about it.

Also `fossil` does all this but "better" integrated.

It's a very interesting thing to test but also our repo is already kind 
of huge. If we merge all the issues and stuff in it... It might become 
even gigantic.

Also, the Mumi based workflow described here:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Debbugs-User-Interfaces.html#Command_002dline-interface

...is probably way better than using `git send-email` raw. WDYT?

I started with `git send-email` not that long ago, and *I* didn't find 
the workflow hard to follow. In fact, *I* think it's even easier than 
the PR based thing that is widespread right now.

I'm not saying it isn't true that there is people that was put off by 
the email based workflow, but I'd like to know how many.

In any case, it's a very interesting link! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers!
