Ehrm, you want everyone who wants to start a new thread to: - send an email - await response from the mail server - send the same email again as a reply to the first one Did I get that right? If so, good luck running from anyone who doesn't send his patch series as a bunch of replies to a 00/XX message. Although it would likely be fun to see the next guy that sends a 600 emails patch bomb getting buried alive in "Please confirm that you want to create a new thread" emails.
