I don't think so because it really isn't a change from what we have
now. There isn't much difference from having a wiki page versus just
having conversations on the patch list and moving email around.
We really need to be looking at the bigger picture here. The more
ridiculous our patch management and feedback procedures are, the more
likely we won't get patches from new people (there are a whole of other
reasons too, but for this context).
