Hmm, let's try this:

Anyone who thinks the patches list should remain as separate from
hackers, shout now (with rationale)!

Oh, that's fine, since discussions are already moved from -patches and are
continued there. The only disadvantage i see is that -hackers is a little
more frequented than -patches, but that isn't something which can't be
managed with some intelligent filtering.

So +1 from my side, if that counts.

Kill it now, long enough before the next patchfest for it to stick.

I think what we need now, for patches, ports, and the others, is someone
to actually kill it. All the talk has been talked, everything has been
decided, now someone with the right permission bits just turn it off.

Note:

1. there are several lists to kill, not just pgsql-patches. The
database says:

pgsql-chat
pgsql-benchmarks
pgsql-hackers-win32
pgsql-hackers-pitr
pgsql-cygwin
pgsql-ports

2. The archives must, obviously, survive the kill, and still be
fetchable via rsync to the archives server.
