I would like for devs to be able to avoid the hassle of posting
non-trivial changes they make to the wget-patches list. To my mind,
there are two ways of accomplishing this:

1. Make wget-patches a list _only_ for submitting patches for
consideration by devs, no longer with the additional purpose of
communicating changes from the devs to the users.

2. Have svnmailer post any changes made to trunk or to release branches
to wget-patches automatically. This means such announcements will no
longer be limited to trivial changes.

Note that I've asked dotsrc.org to implement the same non-subscriber
authentication measures that are currently employed for the main wget
list (as previously discussed), so hopefully the level of spam seen on
wget-patches will be dramatically decreased.

If using wget-patches to communicate changes that have been made is in
fact still a useful thing, then option #2 would be best. However, it's
not clear to me that a significant number of people are actually reading
wget-patches for this purpose, in which case any that do want to know
about such changes are probably better off subscribing to wget-notify to
see them, and I should employ option #1.

Input welcome. :)
