I (think I) mention this in my post, but while it was annoying, I can kind of
see the logic of it.  Not having a debian/ directory in the patch branch
removes the temptation to use quilt directly.  Have to think/play more...

Only because `git push --all` seems like the obvious choice.  But I think
git's cli is akin to quantum mechanics, i.e. don't trust your intuition. :)

In Mailman, that's easy.

In Mailman, that's easy.

In Mailman, that's easy.

Anybody know the maintainer of the mailing list?

I just saw that!  I was worried I was hallucinating yesterday, but instead, I
just thank you for setting it up. :)
