I'm yet to hear an actual reason why taking the 5 minutes to create a github account is too hard.

It is not hard, it is plain unacceptable for certain people. Call that religious reasons.

Unfortunately one cannot have a 5 min PR to change the culture :(

You should accept bug reports with complete or incomplete patches in order to reach stability.

You cannot expect anyone to figure out how to use github just to submit one tiny patch. That's like saying: «we don't really care about stability», or «you have to be a regular contributor in order to improve the system».

It is quite reasonable to follow the path of least resistance: sit on the patch without submitting it. If you want stability then you don't want that. You want to identify all problems and all possible solutions.

Using github is similar to our requirement to match the code style when submitting patches.  It's non-negotiable, because there's no good reason not to do it.  You just remove those tabs, then get on with it.

Here is a good reason: «I have no interest in learning github, and I personally don't care if you accept this patch, but here you have it in case you want to improve your system».

Here is another good reason: «Figuring out the D process is waaaay down on my todo list, maybe sometime next month, next year, next…»

No it is not. GitHub is an intrusive closed ecosystem and it is legitimate concern for anyone caring about the open internet. The fact that I have considered D contribution more important than this concern and the fact that you consider such reasoning silly does not make it less legit and/or widespread. If you don't want these contributions - just ignore it, someone else will take care. But please avoid this pseudo-pragmatical "non-negotiable" bullshit, at least in public.

If it takes longer to work out how to submit a pull request than make your patch, your patch probably wasn't worth doing.
