It is kind of unfortunate that the patch request mechanism is this list since it makes it difficult to find all the patches.

If anyone personally knows him, I wonder if they wouldn't mind pinging him to see if he has any objection to delegating some authority for accepting patches, at least into a separate branch. Failing that, I noticed that you, Lenz, have merged code before so I assume you have the ability to create a new branch and merge into it. The "checked by 3 people" seems like a reasonably high level to aspire to.

Problem is, while it would be easy to add smaller patches & fixes (and<br>
it would prove a very valuable tool for that), decisions that would add<br>
code refactorings would have to be controlled thoroughly, if added at<br>
all - the same for patches that add real new functionality (new command<br>
line switches), or that changes the behaviour of pass.<br>
<br>
Something like that would need a "checked thoroughly by three people on<br>
the mailing list and deemed as useful"-approach or something..?<br>
