Damus code submissions no longer depends on github. Last 4 contributions were applied via patches@damus.io, and were rewarded 115,000 sats total.

Email allows people to contribute anonymously and without the need for a github account, which is important if their access to github is blocked for whatever reason (china, iran, etc). It’s also annoying to login to github, sending an email patch is a single command.

One day we can use nostr instead of email, once there are better email-like nostr clients, but for now this works ok.

Decentralize all the things ✌️
