This is policy that we would have to develop (decide on).
One way would be to only accept patches via BugZilla.  Then the
onus would be on the submitter.  To make this policy work, maybe
we'd want to have the default owner of the "bug" be the patches
list, or at least send a copy there.

Anyway, it's just an idea that I think we can mull over a bit.
