Unfortunately, I find the need to have an account in order to contribute to projects a deal breaker. It causes too much friction for no real gain. Email based workflows will always reign supreme. It’s the OG of code contributions.

After opening with a need to be open-minded, this seems quite close-minded. Sure, it's their article. Still, I was hoping for a more neutral and substantiated advocating and description.

I certainly didn't feel like it answered [all] my questions and concerns in multiple sections.

Well, being open minded doesn't mean you won't reject something, just that you won't reject something without mulling it over first. I'm sure their desire to not want to create account is not a flippant remark and a position they arrived at over time.
