Interestingly, numerous people seem to have no issue using git to check out the source, do a git format patch, and submit it for inclusion with the project. You can see this rather trivially by looking at my scratch repo where I've been consolidating contributed patches for review and inclusion in OpenLDAP:Yes, git is great tool and it is standard. No doubt about that. But why there is no official OpenLDAP repo on github/gitlab?
There is: <https://github.com/openldap/openldap>
Why the people cannot contribute by simple pull requests? It is rather simple to set up and maintain. And it lowers the entry barrier by a huge amount. Would be ideal for fixes in man pages.
Once you've gone to the work to do a change and commit it, there is little difference from that point of doing a pull request or a git format patch.
