On a second reading of my previous email, it does look like I was
complaining about having to import from the public inbox, but that was
not my intention; I meant to clarify how I was able to respond despite
not having a copy of your emails in my inbox. I loathe the thought of
having elicited an apology from a veteran developer such as yourself for
whom I have immense respect and gratitude as there is nothing that calls
for an apology in my view, and I certainly would neither ask nor expect
you to modify your server/DNS configuration to accommodate for my or
GMail's security preferences/requirements.

I have been experimenting with different configurations of the public
email based patch workflow in the following order:
   1. Individual delivery subscription
   2. NNTP
   3. Digest subscription
   4. Atom Feed (current setup)
Next will probably be a dedicated, self-managed email server where I will
be able to whitelist email addresses/domains at will.

Thanks for sharing your perspective on how emails should operate,
especially in the context of a public email based workflow; it will help
me fine-tune my server configuration in the near future.
