Can you post the patches to the list before pushing them the next
time you do a major feature like this? Michael would always do this
and it seems like the right way to do it. For minor features or small
changes of course it isn't a big deal but it would be nice to look at
the diffs in an mua before looking at them with the git browser tig.
Just my 2 cents.
