How can email alone replace GitHub? Email with something like GitHub (like sourcehut) maybe but "no custom software" definitely not.

git-send-email

Git was designed for patches (diffs) to be sent in email. That’s how many people used it before GitHub.

I know about git-send-email. But you still need some kind of website for project info and code (unless you only wanna give out your code on request via email) and a patch/bug tracker if you want your project to be approachable. Larger projects and business users might also want CI.
