Yeah, generally nobody else sends RFC pull requests, they just send the actual pulls. I don't object if Palmer finds them useful, though. For what it's worth, my filter for finding pull requests is emails containing "for you to fetch changes up to" but not either of "not for master" or "PULL SUBSYSTEM". So if you want to specifically keep out of the filters you can add "not for master" in the cover letter. But as I say it's not a big deal for me to sort things out manually -- the filter has the odd false positive anyway. thanks -- PMM
