I have in the past had a script that took email, pushed the attachments
to disk and forwarded the email on. It's not spectacularly intelligent
though, but I was thinking it could be used as a sort of patch queue.

However, I think the other suggestions of having the listbot mangle the
reply-tos of -patches and -committers to be -hackers would probably be
good too. I myself subscribe to -committers in digest form (where I
look at the summary to see if it's interesting) and read -patches
occasionally via the archives to see if anything is there...

Have a nice day,
