thunderbird-patch-review is a Thunderbird add-on that lets developers review Git patch emails directly in their inbox, annotate code hunks, send mailing-list replies, and apply accepted series locally via git-am. It includes Sourcehut mailing list support and is currently distributed as a manually packaged extension. The author notes it was AI-assisted to address a missing tool in the open-source patch review workflow.
Background
Many open-source projects still rely on mailing lists for patch submission and code review instead of web-based hosting platforms. This add-on brings native Git patch handling into the Thunderbird email client to streamline that workflow.
