Changing the message from "one-should-do-such-and-such"
style to "I-would-do-a-patch,-just-tell-me-how" style:

I'm asking if such a change makes sense, and where to
do the adjustment: In the process where the messages
are collected in the .mbox file (Mailman change), or later,
when the archives are generated (pipermail-change) ?
