You *can* send patches via the list, I will pick them up and run them
through the GitHub CI.

Patches that arrive via GitHub will also go through the list and people
can add their tags there.

Also I don't think that pin-init will receive a lot of contributions in
the first place. I do have a lot of changes planned for when we get
`syn`, but other than that, I don't think it will change a lot in the
future.
