The vast majority of patches come in via phabricator. I still read `hg email`ed patches and have plenty of well-oiled scripts to handle them, but it seems most use our bundled phabricator extension. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Sending_patches has a link to the details there.

In general I still slightly prefer the email workflow, but phabricator has its own advantages. Neither is perfect.

Is it worth continuing to maintain, or should I consider tearing it down rather than trying to fix my robots that keep it clean?
