[beware: newbie posting]

<https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo>

contains a line describing gnucash-patches list:
	gnucash-patches 	Patches for gnucash (makepatch format)

It seems that this list is (1) read-only and (2) contains commit
messages from the git repository

Could someone change this, perhaps to:
	gnucash-patches commit messages from GNUCash git repository (read-only)

But:

1) the CVS tree has been retired

2) individuals cannot/shouldn't post to this list

3) this is list not the way to post patches

The text should be reworded.  Here is a possible rewording
