Since almost the first day I hacked on PostgreSQL I have been filtering
both lists into the same folder, so they pretty much appear to be one
and the same to me anyway. The only step that would optimize that
situation further would be doing away with pgsql-patches and telling
people to send patches to pgsql-hackers. I understand that some people
may not care for the extra volume that the patches bring in. But with
250+ kB of hackers mail a day, the few patches don't seem all that
significant. And to be serious about hacking (and tracking the
hacking) you need to get both lists anyway, so it would make sense to
me to just have one.
