I wonder whether the patch submission policy could be changed to
"send plain text to the list if the patch is small (say <200 lines),
put the patch on a ftp- or webserver if it is large and you have access
to one, send it as a zipped attachment to the list in the remaining case"
It is always a hassle to save small patches to disk, unzip it, 'less' it
just to see what's happening. It's much more convienient to read it as
'regular' email.
On the other hand there have been two or three monster patches lately
that might have brought down email-servers a couple of years ago...
In these cases it would save bandwidth to put it somewhere and give
interested people just a pointer to "somewhere".
The fall-back is the current policy, so it should not hurt anybody.
