I suppose that if someone wants to review every patch as it happens that changes is useful. That's not something I want to make time for, though. I'd say that combining them into a single list that has both the commit message and the patch would be OK except that it would make digests awfully long and hard to read. > 4. For the future: > a.

I think we only need one list with summaries It doesn't matter to me.
