I know you're trying to be helpful here, but when someone submits a patch (by any medium), I think our first response should be "thank you". Since this is Karl's first patch, it would be nice to put the patch in Bugzilla for him, and say "Thanks Karl! I've attached your patch to the bugzilla report for review." I'm guessing Karl is a smart guy, and would deduce "Ah - patches should probably be submitted in Bugzilla for review". I've noticed that Sven does things like that regularly, by the way. If your first response is "you're doing it wrong - here's how to send a patch", the chances of a next time are reduced. Now, I know I'm slightly exaggerating the tone, but small stuff like this makes a difference in making a place more welcoming and friendly, and we should all try to make the developers mailing list more welcoming and friendly.
