Oh good. Because the Python core-devs are talking about moving to
Github's web interface instead of email. Because Github is the future :-)

Indeed. Gmail conversations are really good, right up to the moment when
they're not and you want real threading, and then you're screwed
seventeen ways to Sunday.
I especially love the way occasionally Gmail will decide that an email
you sent to Joe Blogs with subject line "Let's go fishing!" and an email
you sent to Peter Parker with subject line "Where's the beef?" belong to
the same conversation, and as far as I can tell there's no way to
convince it otherwise.
