Neither are the alternatives ;-)

I am sure that requiring email submissions will make it seem harder to 
contribute and will give less contributions. Not recommended.

I also think the current situation (where watching the 
conservatory/kallithea repository is a separate step but easier than 
subscribing to the mailing list) is fine.

I think alternative solutions will require more work than is justified 
by the importance. But fine with me if someone wants to do it without 
taking resources away from more important tasks ;-)
