Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

Email how to: https://useplaintext.email

Small change: git diff origin master > mycontribution.patch and paste it into email body.

Big change: same as small, but add as attachment.

Subscribe to coreutils mailing list - low enough volume to not get overwhelmed and established enough to get a feel of the culture.
