how's that different from a PR which gets opened and nothing happend?
*If* something happens, someone will respond - both to the list, and
to the PR.
Having more people work on code and review instead of spending discussions
on the "how to submit patches" would help more :-)
Don't forget that this is not your standard open source project - we have
massively higher reviewing requirements than "send PR, description makes
sense, merge" - and so far, our track record of security issues in OpenVPN
seems to agree that this is not the worst approach. (Sometimes it is
totally annoying to have to wait for an ACK for an "obviously correct"
one-line fix, but *transparency* is the ultimate goal here, so nobody can
sneak something in with two mouse clicks)
