Can someone explain why a mailing list is better than something like codeberg for example?
I'm not a dev, appreciated.
It's not, just a case of "if it's not broke don't fix it". Linux has been on mailing lists since the 90s, while codeberg isn't even a decade old. Even github is half the age of linux. Pros: Simple as hell, decentralized by design, infinitely customizable. Cons: No fancy UI.
Considering that git was created by Torvalds to replace Bitkeeper as the version control software for the kernel, yeah. GitHub couldn't exist earlier.
