How about a moderated newsgroup (with several moderators to keep that
from becoming a bottleneck)? This would make it easy for people to
see the patches, easy for people who test them to submit reviews or
comments or fixes, and the threading and scoring capabilities of
most good news readers would make it much easier for people to ignore
those things they are not interested in and follow those they are.

A newsgroup would be easier for Linus to check than email.

A newsgroup works great for this.
In fact, considering the volume of this mailing list, I sometimes think it
too would work better as a moderated newsgroup.
