Hmmm it would be terrible. Just thinking about what a conversation
would look like :
"Hi guys, I found a bug in xxx subsystem, basically it did blablabla
to my box when I tried to blablabla. I fixed it the dirty way, please
consult the patch list and look for subject XXX.
=> reply :
Hi foo,
there was an cleaner fix, yours is buggy because blablabla. please
use my reply to your mail on the patch list instead.
"
Most people here *comment* patches :
- methods
- bugs
- typos
- coding style
There's no way to do this on two separate lists. It's already very
annoying when someone posts an HTTP link to some content outside !
