The conclusion of the MR discussion was that notifying the list was
optional, I thought.

+<p>
+  If the MR may have interest for most of the Mesa community, you can

+  Don't send the patch to mesa-dev, just the MR link.

The MR process is heavier-weight than I hoped for, given that we're
currently requiring rebasing tags into commit messages.  I don't want to
add more overhead to it if we don't have to.
