We talked about alternative ways to contribute to Git itself without sending patches to the mailing list. Since a few months, there is a way: https://submitgit.herokuapp.com/
We couldn't find that mail with the overview of Git performance issues. Sorry!
During the conference, there was a lot of discussion regarding how the Git project could attract more users by allowing GitHub-style pull requests into their patch-based mailing list. Later Roberto offered a solution to the problem: submitGit.
This is the second part from our trip to Git-Merge 2015! Since we published part one, the recorded talks from the conference are now online at git-merge.com.

How to find lost stashes
During a discussion of git-lost-found (now deprecated in favor of git fsck --lost-found), we asked how to find dropped stashes. git fsck --lost-found will indeed show these as well, although you have to inspect them yourself to identify which came from stash.
