Thanks!

Looks like Polynomial-C applied this as https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/355c5b5715ffcf787c421d03209642d2823cf1f7 <https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/355c5b5715ffcf787c421d03209642d2823cf1f7>.

FWIW, normally we don't post individual package patches
to this ML, but it's a good question as to.. where they should go
if people want to use git send-email/a ML workflow.

Right now, sometimes people send them to gentoo-proxy-maint
(the list) which the proxy maintainers team that handles
most user contributions looks at, but I'll be honest and say
our workflow isn't really optimised for it given it's used
pretty infrequently.

Makes me wonder if we should rename the list
or have a separate one (gentoo-patches?).

(Or just use that list and make sure people CC
maintainers as you did here?)

Best,
