It seems a bit tricky to get reaction on the list by those who are

problem is that if they do not pitch in then it might be said or
thought "Why haven't you said earlier that you are against it?" I am
not sure how to solve that problem. One solution might be to move
initial discussions about patches to the bug tracker. There many
people don't get automatic updates and hence the problem is circumvented.

That's quite often done. It depends upon the size of the project. E.g.,
when I was re-writing the updateBuffer routines, it touched enough code
that discussion happened here mostly. But for smaller things, yes, trac
is probably the best place to work.

Thanks Riki. Good to know I seem not to be totally off with interpretations here. But I guess I needed a little bit of experience with posting patches on the list to figure this out.
