I for one would never contribute to a project that requires one of the above. I know some will shoot back with "but Linux!", but that's the exception that proves the rule.

They’re not exactly begging for your contribution, are they? It’s very much voluntary. They’re just stating how to communicate with them.
And projects that want emailed patches might consider it a good filter for the sorts of contributors they want.
