Back in the day, open source projects were just a tarball on some ftp server. Maybe, just maybe, the README contained an email address to send patches to.

That probably wasn't such a bad model after all.

If you worry about endless support via email, create per-project aliases that at some point may autoreply "this project is not supported any longer. Feel free to set up your own fork".
