    “send a patch via mail” process.

    I don’t see a problem with it. I don’t know what tools you use, but the current process certainly isn’t ancient. Even if I use GitHub or something else, I still highly depend on my e-mail to actually know somebody published a patch and if I am supposed to review it. I don’t have to use a GUI coupled with shitty UI decisions. E-mails are very simple in their own way and I don’t find it ancient or bad.

    I experienced this too. That’s why I stopped asking them anything after my first query (why my keybindings were not working when defined in another file) and relied on guess work. I also found the community kind of dead, so you don’t actually get the answers quicker than the guess work will get you there.

    I had to look through the source code of their widgets (like wibox.widget.textclock, awful.titlebar.widget.maximizedbutton) they use in their default config file to have a grasp of what’s happening. Looking through others’ dotfiles was more pain because it’s not supposed to be looked upon by the beginners, so they cram all they know in a few lines and leave you guessing.
