Where did you read that patches should be submitted by email? Because
that's definitely incorrect.

Which branches are you looking to submit to? There are lots of branches
that unfortunately we don't have monitoring of. MPs are great, but I
wouldn't want you to do work on one only to have it go nowhere because no
one is listening.
The official process for getting patches included in Ubuntu is
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess>. The sponsorship queue is
sadly also under-managed at this time, so sometimes a ping on IRC
(#ubuntu-devel@libera) or email is productive.
