This is both my first message to the mailing list and my first email sent using mutt. I'm hoping to eventually participate with patches and reviews but the mailing-list-driven developement model has been a barrier for myself an probably many others. I'm slowly trying to climb over it now but some will never find the time. Perhaps a good question is: How long does it take to learn the mailing-list workflow vs the github workflow?

If u-boot was using github, I would have contributed long ago and I suspect there are others in the same bucket. Thats my perspective at least :)

Cheers,
Corey
