I believe GitHub can make the 'pull request is an email' happen
automatically with hooks.  Of course, that could fork discussion between
those doing review on GitHub and those doing it on the mailing list, which
might be more annoying than it's worth.

I will note as a data point that for us (IPython), the move to GitHub a
year ago increased community contributions and participation by an order of
magnitude.  Not git in general, but GitHub in particular.

As for the rollback of 4.0, are there commits in 4.0 that are not in 3.0
that would want to be kept in the new 3.0-tracking master?  I'm just
confused as to why the reverting would happen if the plan is simply to make
3.0 master, and 4.0 'experimental', when you can just rename libzmq/master
to libzmq/experimental, and push current zeromq3-0/master as libzmq/master.
