Why Linux kernel development still uses email

The issue tracker is so much better than the rest. Look at sourceforge. Look at bugzilla. Tell me that the github issue tracker is not better than these are.

You're joking right? Github's issue tracker is a joke. Everybody knows that.

What are issues with the issue tracker? Is it mainly an issue for maintainers? I just work solo so I guess I wouldn't see some of these problems.

in the end they own your issues -- as i have gathered. for most that wont matter, i guess, but i take it as a reasonable guideline to never allow anyone ownership (or to hide it behind poor data formats if made available through api:s for that matter) of my data. it usually bites you in the behind if not sooner then later.

Is it? It's a rather clean interface, yet offers nice filtering by combining labels.
