Patches posted to the mailinglist get more eyes on them.

That will just boil down to people only using stable or testing, so 
unstable won't get any testing. Which means you get a false sense of 
security and get to keep the same breakages we see now.
So no, I won't support such a move.

Why are people so affraid of getting their patches reviewed on the 
mailinglist?
