For new submitters, there's always going to be some set of hoops to
jump through. Whether it's emailing -patches, adding a ticket to a
Trac or bugzilla, or adding a wiki entry, there will be some process
that they need to conform to if they want their patch to get reviewed.

Personally I don't feel that using a patch tracker or wiki is any more
onerous than using an email list, and it's a whole lot more responsive
(i.e., doesn't require Bruce to personally and manually shift the
entry from -patches to the queue).

It's not like we'd be asking submitters to draw a chalk circle on
their floor and conduct an arcane ritual. =) It's just a website.

Cheers,
BJ
