Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

I never really got used to IRC myself, but it's usually fine when connecting to IRC via Matrix.

BTW, what other communication channels would you have expected?

s/IRC/XMPP/ or maybe mattermost instead of a mailing list?

I'm still trying to figure out github. I am at the beginning of my computer learning journey.
