Do we have those and does anyone notice? I personally rarely look at the list now unless I'm CC'd on something. That seems really bad for drive by contributors.
But frankly I wouldn't submit to a mailing list as a drive by, it's more work to get subscribed to mail man (so my patch goes through), set up get-send-email, and send the patches, then unsubscribe when I'm done than it would be to sign up for gitlab.fdo using one of the "sign-in-with" options. If you're not subscribed you go into limbo until a list maintainer approves your patch, and I think any follow ups. That seems even worse as most people probably aren't aware of that behavior. Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way though. Dylan Quoting Alex Deucher (2019-12-10 07:30:43) > How do we deal with drive by fixes?
