This is partly by way of a test and partly by way of a question - I've
tried posting a patch here 4 times in the last 48 hours, none of them
have made it to the list but replies to the message (it was copied to
the alsa-devel and linux-sh lists also) have appeared here.

What is it that is causing my message to be trapped and forwarded
to /dev/null? It's not flagged as spam anywhere else - and nor should it
be - it's a patch!

How large is the patch?  it could be too large.

also check http://vger.kernel.org/ .  Try the mxverify tool
and look at the majordomo TABOO expressions to see if you are
hitting any of those.
