Or, alternatively, ALMs provide some other kind of value (that is iteration velocity or efficiency) that Linux developers don't care about.

I agree and that's why the author quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman about commit velocity (throughput of "8 changes per hour") in his article is actually a distraction from answering the actual question as stated in the article's title. The real reason for kernel devs use of emails isn't the throughput.
