I believe that a giant wall of text is the appropriate way to send a proposal to the Git community. I will advise you to send that giant of text actually. It is easier for the community to review and give feedback. Also future gsoc participants can also learn from it. By telling the reviewer to go through the link to the docs and then copy it on the to the email just to reply is giving them an extra lot of work to do. So send it through text and make it easy for people to review.
