Are patches suppose to be posted here? If not, where else?
Speaking only for myself, I archive patches that look like they may be
useful. It is very, very convenient to be able to capture a patch
just by archiving the encapsulating mail message. It is far less
convenient, for me, to chase pointers -- URL's have a disappointing
tendency to decay over time.

Please stop sending large patches to the mailing list. IMHO, this is
worse than junk-mail spam -- at least those are small. If you have
some wonderful patch set, by all means send it to Cygnus and announce
it to the list. But, please don't subject all of us to 100KB of "patch
of the day".
Thanks,
