Probably.

The more I think about what I wrote earlier in this thread, the more I
like it: if patches suggested by people other than the core
maintainers will get reviewed and responded to by the developers soon
after they are posted to the various lists, we will win on 2 counts:
(1) more potential bugs will be detected before they get into the CVS,
and (2) it will make life easier for Richard who up until now did that
almost single-handedly.
