I am getting presistant requests from people asking why their patches
haven't appeared on the patches list yet. I have had it happen to me.

This is pretty serious because when you add another day of delay in
email delivery to the 1-2 days the patch sits in the patch queue, things
are getting out of sync.

I believe part of the problem is that pgsql-patches has the same size
limit (40K IIRC) as all the other lists for messages to go through
without approval.

ISTM that for pgsql-patches a larger limit would be appropriate, at
least a couple hundred K.

Yes. If I am on patches, I expect to receive big files.
