The mailing list has a 20-30 year history with reasoning about what currently is in the tree. I do think it is valuable to reason about patches publically for others to see. And I'm aware that this might not be regarded fancy nowadays by everyone. But that does not mean that using other means to collaborate should not be used by some. Be it comp.lang.fortran, a webchat.oftc, or other means, that's all fine of course. patches currently are handled differently, but I don't think that is a problem isn't it. Just post final patches to the list as long as that is regarded the way to do final review and document approval. cheers,
