i've been in a dozen mailing lists (some with high thruput, gentoo-user and gentoo-devel with close to 2 to 3 dozens mails per day), and my ~/mail/Lists folder is 62M in size, which is nothing

the it'll only be an issue with a mail provider if they charge you *per mail* instead of per storage which unless you're getting hundreds of mail a minute, is dumb

lastly, sending patches to a mailing list without being subscribed to said list should be allowed, and is on sourcehut for example, if the patches list requires you *to be subscribed*, i'd understand the issue, but nothing stops a mailing list that accepts patches without a subscription, making it *more* convenient than a forge

no making a new account on a small self-hosted forge to make a single pr or issue, you just, mail it from your already existing mail account
