Damn, this is starting to get to be a trend ... but, I can't but agree 100%
with this ... we *can* enforce, and I doubt it will have much (if any) affect
on the # of patches that come in, since ppl want to see their work committed,
and will follow any *reaonable* procedure we have for them to do so ...

Do other large projects accept patches 'ad hoc' like we do? FreeBSD? Linux?
KDE?
