I appreciate the effort here, but in the proposed workflow are missed steps with subscribing to a mailing list. Without proper subscriptions and confirming subscription, your mails with patches will go to trash.

That's not true in general. Many mailing lists accept emails from unsubscribed users, some moderate them (requiring moderator approval for the first post), but I don't know of any which outright rejects such emails.

I might be remembering wrong but I think hostapd's list rejects like that.

In any case, even the possibility of such an outcome is not pleasant.
