I was not aware about the possibility of hosting sourcehut at all -- but
this does seem like a plausible solution indeed.

Definitely, folks at sourcehut have been doing a great job at tacking
this sort of issue -- in fact, afaik, they are the only ones actually
trying to solve this mailing list problem. I am unaware of any other
solution that tackles code contribution the way they do it.

Maybe if Emacs makes the first move, perhaps other projects may follow
the same path.
