[Developers] patch etiquette

[Tom Goodale]

Definitely.  It would also be helpful for the patch approval process if 
the patches are also sent in a seperate mail to me, so it is easier for me 
to seperate discussion of patches from the patches themselves.  Also if a 
patch is an update on one previously submitted, it would be good to 
indicate that.

Please keep the patches coming - I'll try to be a bit more efficient at 
dealing with them ...

Cheers,

Tom
