I would prefer this outreachy work uses their own mailing list and 
reviews their patches first.  Then once they have everything sorted out 
they send out the patch series to the proper maintainers/mailing lists. 
That way we're not spammed with all these emails of people as they are 
learning how to format and send out proper patches.
