I retract my suggestion. Have python-patch, python-patch-discuss
(python-patch would be replied-to: python-patch-discuss) and keep
python-dev as a clean list. This way, people could just subscribe to
python-patch, and when they get a patch they're interested in, they could
subscribe to the discuss mailing list. That way, people could also
subscribe to python-patch-discuss without subscribing to python-patch, to
avoid the large attachments that would be sent by python-patch. Of course,
mailman's new feature would automatically extract those attachments and
post them up, so they can be downloaded by non-subscribers.
