BTW it seems that a few people misunderstood my comments.

Just to clarify: I am happy if a lot of non-technical people use 
Thunderbird.  I mean, I am happy for them.

If it is too complicated for Thunderbird to accomodate the workflow 
required on our mailing list, however, I will have to recommend another 
tool to the people who want to contribute to Git.

I would not recommend emacs to a vim user, either.  Or vice versa.

In other words: use the right tool.  Or, as somebody put it at the 
GitTogether: to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Ciao,
Dscho
