Nicer would be "lowest common nominator" but "stone age" describe the
process of sending patches via BTS very well. Upps, sorry, not only the
process, but the BTS also.
We have git, we have salsa, it seems to me that using merge requests is
common sense and should not need any mention. Otherwise - if one is
happy to send patches via BTS - why not, as long one don't bother me
with. And this it a two way thing - i will not bother other people with
patches via BTS (nicer for: if not in salsa, gitlab or github, no
contribution, no patch)
