Re: new patch policy

[Nat Friedman <nat novell com>]

I'd just like to add that it's still okay to mail patches to the list if
the purpose of sending them is to discuss the patches, and not simply to
seek approval for them.  

But, if you want your patch reviewed, it should also get put into
bugzilla.
