I believe reliance on proprietary platforms is detrimental to free
software [1]. Note, though, I was not trying to circumvent the
preferred submission process as I mentioned in another email in this
thread.

Email has the lowest barrier to entry. By raising the barrier, drive-by
contributions are discouraged. Not only are they useful on their own,
any drive-by contribution may just be the first of many. Unless it
doesn't happen.

Imagine you came to volunteer at a charity event. It happens to be
hosted at a corporate office that has otherwise nothing to do with the
charity. However, the corporation requires every volunteer to enrol in
their loyalty programme (which includes analysing and accepting the
terms of service and privacy policy whatever it may be) before they are
allowed on premises. I would find that obnoxious.
