It seems like it should be easier to just send a patch, but feedback
we're getting shows that it's not for a number of developers.  Many
don't use mail at all for development, and all they're used to is the
GitLab/Hub way of doing it.

So it's easier for them -- it feels safe and familiar for them to do
development by clicking around in a web browser.
