But no one gets those updates without looking at github, and even if they
did, it would have to be via a new e-mail, cluttering things up. It's not
possible for anyone to edit their message on github and then have the
e-mails that everyone received update. The e-mails from github serve as
notifications of what's on the website, not as the primary means of
communication.

And for D, the web interface is _not_ what controls the data. It's a client
just like my e-mail client is and just like Walter's newsgroup client is.
So, all it can edit is its local cache, which would make it out-of-sync with
everyone else. Or it could send out a second message - which is exactly what
you have to do right now. And because that's what you have to do, it doesn't
give the false impression that you can edit previously sent messages.
