Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

This is ideal for me. I refuse to use Discord period and only use Slack only for direct client work (when they request that we use it.)

Mailing lists are great imho but I'm older than most people probably on these communities. So I'm very familiar with this.

I do think a ticket tracker is useful/required though.
