Yes, super! :)

But we can wait for the moment that Gitlab sells our work to AI 
companies also ...

Git is open source. We could have our own Gitlab.

For me mailinglists are still the best because

- everybody has email

- it is decentralized and cannot be owned by a single company which
  means that you can change your provider at any time

- there are hundreds of open source tools to handle it

As long as the development of the Linux kernel with thousands of 
developers is organized via mailinglists, I wouldn't worry about another 
tool.

Alles Gute
