I'm kind of two minds about this.
On the one hand, I'm having a hard time seeing exactly how it would
work, at least in terms of using email to manage the patch queues.
On the other hand, David is clearly right that we need more people
looking at the code, and this might be a good way to do it. Further,
the -dev list is largely fallow, and this could go a long way toward
getting more conversation going on the list, and the conversation
might even -- crazy crazy! -- be about code.
I think we might as well try it. Even if it's not used to actually
approve patches, it would hopefully be a useful way to get more people
looking at the code and commenting on it.
