No, that's not how it works.
That's not how what works?
Changing the license terms for contributions posted to the mailing
list to only be X11 licensed (for example) would mean that we may
not be able to commit it to the tree under the ALv2 license.
Yes, that is indeed the rub.

For example, if someone (not a committer) submits a patch to the
mailing list and you have switched the list's licensing terms to
X11 (which does not include patent protections), it then means that
I can't commit that patch to our tree without requiring a
*separate* authorization under ALv2. However, if the mailing list
is as defined in ALv2, then the act of contributing grants the
necessary terms. -- justin
