GCC has a gcc-patches@ mailing list in addition to address@hidden  However, as a
passerby, I found it’s not super clear whether to use gcc@, or
gcc-patches@, or the Bugzilla instance.  So I’m not sure it would
improve the situation.

Thoughts?

FWIW, I filter help-guix, guix-devel, and guix-sysadmin in separate
folders, and then I use Gnus’ scoring mechanism for things in guix-devel
(you could assign a low score to messages whose subject contains
“[PATCH]” for instance.)
