    I’d rather not have to register on every individuals instance for every project, for big reporting, discussion, or simple changes.

      You could set up a mailing list for the project and pass around email patches.

      git send-email and git am are core parts of the functionality.

      While github.com/torvalds/linux does exist, the workflow for the various modules is described in github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/…/MAINTAINERS and the PR bot that shows up on pull requests in the repo: github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/782

      … and email is a federated protocol that is resistant to censorship that is associated with having a single server hosting the content.
