The mailing list has a 20-30 year history with reasoning about what currently 
is in the tree. I do think it is valuable to reason about patches publically 
for others to see. And I'm aware that this might not be regarded fancy nowadays 
by everyone.

But that does not mean that using other means to collaborate should not be used 
by some. Be it comp.lang.fortran, a webchat.oftc, or other means, that's all 
fine of course.

patches currently are handled differently, but I don't think that is a problem 
isn't it.
Just post final patches to the list as long as that is regarded the way to do 
final review and document approval.

cheers,
