&lt;br /&gt;
=== How does it work ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Submit a patch to nixpkgs using `git send-email`, see git-send-email.io for instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reviews are handled through regular email replies. Once patches are accepted on the mailing list, a maintainer will open a PR on GitHub on behalf of the original author.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sending patches over email has some advantages over web-based submissions like GitHub:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* works with many different email clients and tools&lt;br /&gt;
* doesn&amp;#039;t require lots of bandwidth, or any persistent connection&lt;br /&gt;
* allows for PGP signing of messages (you can&amp;#039;t sign GitHub comments)&lt;br /&gt;
* more open tooling&lt;br /&gt;
* doesn&amp;#039;t rely on any central authority&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And besides, not everyone uses GitHub, or likes to use GitHub. This mailing list is a alternative for those cases.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
