Let me list the aspects of our mailing list workflow that I find
cumbersome as a contributor and reviewer:

* Submitting patches to the mailing list is an ordeal of configuring
format-patch and send-email and getting everything just right, using
instructions that depend on the local environment.

Typically everything fits into ~/.gitconfig,
which can be carried around on a USB-Stick.

I personnally submit all my Git patches from a machine whose
/usr/sbin/sendmail knows how to send emails, so for me configuration is
super simple. But I can imagine the pain of someone working on various
machines with various network configuration and normally using a webmail
to send emails. Sharing ~/.gitconfig does not always work because on
machine A you only can use one SMTP server, and on machine B only
another ...
