The git project uses the same workflow for development that the Linux kernel does. That is, using a mailing list to submit and discuss commits before merging them into the maintainer's repository.

Sure. But many users of git don't know (or care) about the workflow of the git team. They know github. Maybe gitlab. Or bitbucket. They could go their entire development careers without ever sending a patch as an email, instead relying on feature branches and pull requests.

This could be completely alien to them, and it seems wrong to downvote srg for pointing that out.
