I find the need to have an account in order to contribute to projects a deal breaker. It causes too much friction for no real gain. Email based workflows will always reign supreme. It’s the OG of code contributions.

This is dumb. I have followed the simple 12 step process to set up git send-email and it was so much more hassle than creating an account on GitHub or Codeberg or whatever, and in the end the UX is much worse.
