Re: [saag] Comment added to draft-gutmann-scep history

[Patrick McManus <[e-mail]>]

I'm sorry I don't have any other approach to offer - github and the mailing
list are the normal mechanisms. Github works quite well for our working
group. If you'd like to substitute for a discussion thread I would
suggesting opening an issue rather than a PR (or perhaps in addition to).

in extremis you could of course mail the author or chair directly rather
than participating in the WG. That of course doesn't really scale.
