22 I don't think setting up a new mailing list purely for patches will
23 benefit much. It all comes down to who's gonna merge the contributions,
24 and Github/bugzilla are definitely easier in that regard. I suggest
25 opening a bug like normally, and then sending the .patch to the
26 maintainers directly via e-mail with bug #nr linked either in Subject or
27 git message body.
