I think what Bruce is really complaining about here is that he's got
years worth of development in his current infrastructure, and so it only
costs him a few seconds and keystrokes to push stuff into his existing
patch queue; while there's no such shortcuts for the wiki. Which is a
fair complaint, but it's hardly insoluble.

Certainly. What we've got to do is make sure that after someone has
made that decision, it doesn't cost them a couple of minutes of drudgery
to look up the appropriate email-archives URL and push it into the wiki
page (probably with a comment). I can't imagine that this is terribly
difficult, but web page scripting isn't one of my strengths ...
