Agreed, or at least boost it up a good bit more.

Not sure how that's relevant?

This is a red herring, unless your proposal also includes making the
master CVS^H^H^Hgit repository world-writable. The complaint I have
about people posting URLs is that there's no stable archive of what the
patches really were, and just because it came out of someone's local git
repository doesn't help that.
