Excellent point, Mark!

But I see -devel currently rejects mails from non subscribed, and
owners of the list are not notified.

The -tickets mailing list puts them on hold instead, so it should
be possible to post there even sensitive data.

Maybe we should try that (posting patches to -tickets), and if we like
it, advertise it. Mark, if you want to "git send-email" we can try
that workflow. Maybe a patch for the CONTRIBUTING file  ? :)
