I was on my way to reply something like "emails gives us that and much
more opportunities thanks to MUA plugins (using mutt, is's basically
some few lines to add in my config file) but I realized that some
(most?) people use webmails nowadays so they miss the whole point
of using emails (which is freedom of use).

So my mind changed to "github discussions is a complete disaster when it
comes to keeping track of an idea" to "it depends on how fluent people
are with mails".
