If you see your email in the archive and/or patchwork (note only patches
and comments on patches will make it into patchwork - also that Patchwork
will drop patches containing 'funny (non-ASCII)' characters) then the list
is processing it correctly.

We are currently looking into a home-brew patchwork replacement to augment
how we process patches via the mailing list. Comments are appreciated:

emails over, I think, about 100kB need approval before being forwarded to
the list. Wolfgang, since these appear to be rather rare, can this limit be
dropped, at least for a little while to test the impact?

So do I - big thanks for the documentation updates, they all too often get
overlooked.
