Well, it's a matter of viewpoint ofcourse - But to me it has made it
easier to work with. The extra review before commits are imho a good
thing.

You could enable the post-receive hook on your repo to get it to
automatically send patches to the list when you push changes to it
(see .git/hooks/post-receive.sample).

True, all tools require some setup. I would expect most developer
machines to be able to send mail and/or have git installed already
though as lots of projects use it.

What exactly isn't working for you? I can understand that it takes a
bit of time to learn git if you haven't used it before, but other than
that?
