I think that we should all make better use of forking and pull-requests for submitting proposed changes. Instead of submitting a patch file to the mailing list, one should fork the GitHub repo, make their changes, then create a pull request.
No, I think all patches should be reviewed and discussed on the mailing list, since it is archived by IANA, and it is where RFC 6557 says discussion should occur.
I know some projects have their pull request stuff sent to the mailing list email, so it might be possible to use pull requests this way and still be able to follow discussion via the mailing list. I guess posting back via email should also be possible, not sure how much harder that would be to realize. Cheers, Dirkjan
