If the patch does not reach our inbox, it will not be reviewed.

A link is not enough. When we open our mail, we need to be able to see
the proposed change without an extra step.

The mailing-list is just a mailing list, it does not try to combine a
dozen different tools into one.

> Patchwork tries to do that and it only semi-works, so I'd rather not.

Then stop trying to force us to use mediocre tools.

No it is not: it requires an extra step.

I do not care about push access for now, I care about notifications.

As libabvfilter maintainer, if somebody proposes a patch on libavfilter,
I need to see it.

You promised it would be possible to continue working through mail
without extra work: did you lie?
