[Python-Dev] patch handling (was: Python 1.6 timing)

[David Ascher]

Another idea is to steal Ping's very cool idea of a 'nosy list'.  If you
missed his short talk at IPC8, he has a system which is a frontend to their
bug database (but I think it would work well with patches).  As far as I
understood, folks submit bugs via an email message.  Each email message has
an _implicit_ mailing list, which is made up of all the people who either
'register' interest in the bug/patch, or who reply to the submission.  That
way there is an automatic broadcasting of the discussion to those parties
interested in the topic at hand, and only those.

Maybe Ping can explain in more detail how it works.  It seemed like a
brilliant idea to me.
