Exactly. People don’t struggle with format-patch, they struggle with integrating patches into their email clients.

Our design philosophy is to not require the project’s git repo in order to enable developers to collaborate.

We are also trying to make this service a supplement to other code forges. Competing with GitHub is a huge uphill battle, instead I’m thinking of this service more as a patch-bin instead of a git collaboration tool for corporate entities
