That's simply a question of working style and mail volume of the maintainer. In the past I used to miss patches that were not sent to me directly at times. I solved that by filtering for patches using procmail. But that scheme also has its shortcomings; it would miss patches being sent in too creative MIME encodings but people aren't supposed to do that anyway. Ralf
