Some people talk about mailing lists with a lot of reverence, but I have only ever found them to be extremely ugly and unreadable.

Are there any good clients out there that make them readable? For example a lemmy-like, threaded interface with interactivity? Or for PR/MRs an interface that shows the diffs with syntax highlighting, toggleable unified and side by side diff views, ability to comment within diffs and continue discussions within them (maybe even threaded)?

    No, I thought that was a separate question precisely because I don’t see a connection between merge requests and mailing lists.

      Mailing lists are used for contributing to projects with code. Patches are submitted via email into the mailing list. See example.

      That looks pretty much nothing like gitlab’s, Microslop GitHub’s, forgejo’s or even sourceforge’s page.
