Note GCC's mailing list accepts HTML emails these days. I think it is
odd that glibc does not follow here.
Plus I think we should start moving away from email for patch
discussions; especially when it comes to attracting new people. email
to the youth is like what the phone was to the youth in the 2000s. It
has gone away to move.
I really think we should move to forge for glibc before GCC. GCC is
much bigger project and it is already starting to move faster to the
forge than glibc which seens the opposite way around.

Thanks,
Andrea
