You don't have to sign up for most mailing lists to send an email to them. The default permissions for new lists on SourceHut allow postings from non-subscribers. It's very common to fire off a patch without subscribing.

Email would let me participate without having to sign up with github.
Anyway, email has threading, at least. At the very minimum github needs to step up and acknowledge how terrible issues are for communicating.
Yes I know you can automate filtering them in to folders but that isn't simple to do when you self host email and use it across multiple computers because most filtering is done client side.
I also have one mailing list that seems to have messed up and I'm stuck on the list despite trying to unsubscribe a few times.
