Why don't he use some platform like Github/Gitlab and alike? The method to send patches via email is just stupid, isn't it?

Linus wrote git to be used via email as part of its core design, so that was just the way he rolled back then. GitHub and Gitlab and all the cloud platforms and tooling came afterwards and it took time to reach a critical mass, and even then, some folks stick to what they’re used to.

Looking at Linus’ GitHub profile, looks like not much has changed — 100% commits, 0% everything else.

They are discussing, not sending patches over email. The author of this email is also the creator of git.

I am aware of that. GitHub and alike systems are not just git servers.

2012, but yeah...

Yeah, Linus should get right on that and make some kind of system for this...
