Patches submitted by email to the list get lost. Which is why I'm
pushing for something, anything really, that assures submitted patches
do not disappear. Relying only on submission to an email list has
never proved effective for me.

How a patch appears to get "lost": The patch is submitted; No comments
occur; The email containing the patch is pushed down by newer emails;
Nobody bothers to check for patches in old emails.

IMO, use of git avoids some problems just by being distributed. The
patches can be recorded to many repositories even if the submitting
user does not have access to the master repository.
