We do have a dedicated information channel for patches: https://updates.orgmode.org/#patches You can subscribe to it with this RSS feed: https://updates.orgmode.org/feed/patches Once subscribed, you will only receive the patches, nothing else. You can track all updates via the gwene.org.orgmode.updates newsgroup on news.gmane.io. This idea is precisely to help people organize their contributions to Org, whether they want to help, fix confirmed bugs or review patches. Of course, https://updates.orgmode.org is in alpha and we can still improve it a lot. In particular, I plan to let it track unconfirmed bugs too, to help with bug triage, and to provide woof.el to ease interaction with this tool directly from within Emacs. Ideas are welcome: https://github.com/bzg/woof/issues In general, I find it good to have a central communication place for the community, where newcomers can learn from more experienced users and I've always resisted to the urge of having e.g. org-users@ and org-devel@ mailing lists, as some projects have. Nowadays, users who don't want to mix with Org's development can interact on many other places (SO, reddit and others). -- Bastien
