On the [/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev tahoe-dev mailing list], Zooko suggests:
> I really like using the mailing list for patches, because the mailing
> list is a public, on-the-record conversation that includes everyone.
> What about this:
> darcs send -o patch.darcspatch
> darcs diff -u -p"${PATCHRE}" > patch.diff.txt
> and then send both to the mailing list as attachments? This is more
> work for the submitter, as they have to attach the files to a message
> and send the message (instead of allowing "darcs send" to send the
> message for them).
> The good things about this are (a) hopefully everyone can see the
> patch contents in-line in the mail and (b) you can add a "cover
> letter" -- a message to the mailing list about the patch.
