Sounds like we'll have to time out on learning this from KuroNeko.

How about we offer both ways to contribute, that is, mailing list and
merge request? If we notice after a few months that one works much
better than the other, we can still shut down one of them.

Should I create a private mailing list as suggested earlier? Or rather,
should I ask for one to be created, configure it, and invite people to
it. Or would you prefer doing that as the likely list owner?

And would you mind writing some short text for the various places where
we want to mention that mailing list? I could write that text, too, but
the likelihood for you to receive useful contributions on that mailing
list might be higher if you write it.

Thanks!

All the best,
Karsten
