(In reply to Tom Rushworth from comment #50)

I sent a small patch to their mailing list (seems to be the only available
channel). My intention was (and maybe I'll still try) to package some FreeBSD
port patches and push them upstream. you can read the whole exchange here:

https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2021-March/015627.html

(follow the thread)

I'll cite here this small exchange:

And yet, the Linux kernel managed 15,477 commits between 5.10 and 5.11, for an
average around 170 per day, the vast majority of which weren't attachments but
up in the main body of the email.

So it looks like, since the linux kernel does things this way(do they really?
Never coded for linux kernel),  it's got to be good for everyone.

I then sent my small patch inline and got no further feedback.

Personally I'm not looking forward to further interfacing with them, and will
do it only for patches I created.
