Say you want to contribute to a project and find out the only way to do so is by discussing the issue on IRC or the mailing list, then submitting the patch per email.

Right, I get now what you mean. In defense of the other person, they said this may be the case. Which implies that it also may not be the case. It's a worry spoken out, maybe without thinking too much about how to word it in a way which does not come across as insulting.

I would frown at this in a direct conversation, but not so much in an indirect, general talk about opinions. In the current setting, I appreciated the opinion as open and direct. I don't think anyone's feelings have been hurt here, unless someone actively wants to feel offended.
