I was so happy to read this. I completely agree with Linus' criticisms of the pull request system that GitHub has popularized. They've deeply embedded really bad habits into programmers. I used to wonder "Why do some projects still do patch review on a mailing list?" and then I realized it was for the reasons that Linus gave here.


So what's the best way to do it instead? And why is the current model so bad?
