Or we could even suggest something like git-format-patch, and then the
contributor wouldn't even need a salsa account - it would of
course require someone with write access to the salsa repo to actually
do the actual salsa push, but that is the way the editing is supposed
to work, right? Any suggested change gets a review by someone with
write access.
(I guess my point is that even salsa access isn't required to
contribute).
