Exactly -- if I see a new patch that I think it looks ok to include, I
can check for legal papers from poster and if ok, immediately post a
PATCH REVIEW message to emacs-devel, and in a couple of days I can
just install it if nobody has objected to do so.
No double work, no forgotten patches, no patches committed without
prior review... ?
Maybe we should say that the review period is 3 days, i.e. if no
comments in 3 days, it is ok to commit.
