  Yes well, I don't like my mailbox filling up with patch submissions so I don't
subscribe to the patch list. I realize it's not optimal. I find that the
bandwidth with the CVS commits is actually better. Besides we've seen, if I'm 
recalling correctly, that patches submitted to the list aren't necessarily
applied as is and there are some submissions which don't make it to the
patch list. Alexandre does use his discression and CVS seems to be
the only offical way of doing things between releases. This does slightly
impact some people who don't use CVS mais, c'est la vie. Should we change
policy and require submissions to only the patch list and remove the
requirement of subscription (and change the ANNOUNCE file?)

  On a side note you can sort of grab the latest files from a few links
off the web that show the present CVS tree, provided you know what's 
been applied and rejected. It's a manual effort and not perfect though...
