@anildash@me.dm Can you elaborate on

“pull requests” are not actually an open standard and throwing code over the wall at others is not actually social coding

given git am? I know you know this stuff, but I don't follow. Is there a meaningful difference between pull requests and sending git patches to mailing lists?

@jaffathecake Maybe there's some definition of "developers" in the spec process, but I think it is problematic to consider "developers" to be one giant mass. I agree with you - this is a bad API. But especially given the topic, I think this process self-selects for the most vocal, and I can imagine there are loads of developers out there that are genuinely supportive of an API like this.
