I did not check the web UI for this one. A general note on what I know:
if you send the patch as an attachment or fake it as part of the
message, it is not shown on the website and it does not count as a
"patch" in the relevant tab.
SourceHut has a hardcoded reliance on the git-email-send workflow. I
would prefer a more flexible approach where "[PATCH]" in the subject
line and/or the presence of a .patch file is enough.
If you choose to use git-email-send, I am okay with it and can apply the
patches just as well.

Okay, I see. I guess sr.ht still needs improvements before it can be
used comfortably. It seems to be designed such that it fits only a
single specific work flow, which is favored by the developers. There is
still the issue that links in commit messages are not handled well. Also
Org is not supported as a README format, which is unfortunate for Emacs
development. I wonder how hard it is to add this. Org is a fringe
format, even many of the Emacs maintainers themselves dislike it as
shown by the currently ongoing discussion.

Indeed, it is not optimal for our purposes.
The other part about the UI I would like to see improvements to is a
link from the git repo to the mailing list and vice-versa. Now these
need to be documented separately.
