I was just replying to Raahul's email.
I don't know what Raahul did, he probably sent his email to freeciv and 
cc'ed it to bugs, which usually has such side effects.

However I must point out, that on www.freeciv.org there is no 
systematic description of how the patches should be submitted.
        http://www.freeciv.org/contribute.html#Submit
says that they should be sent to freeciv-dev
        http://www.freeciv.org/cgi-bin/bugs
says "you can also submit patches by sending email to bugs@...)

Shouldn't we standardize the procedure?  And please describe in the 
website what you expect and what you _don't_ expect people to do.

My suggestion is:
1. Small patches / bugfixes should be sent to bugs as attachments
2. Big patches should be uploaded to incoming with a description sent to 
bugs.
3. Do_not_ cc your email to freeciv-dev, the system will do it for you and 
will do properly.
