I'm not sure exactly what Brent has in mind, but I think his Bug Fix
Archive server (which replaces sqfixes) was only going to deal with the
squeak-harvest list? (I could be wrong.) And then the BFAV would just
be looking at this list. In which case, it would need the original
[FIX]/[ENH] postings crossposted.
Although I guess that doesn't jibe with this:

Assuming these conversations take place on squeak-dev and not
squeak-harvest, then I guess the BFAV will need to look at both lists
after all?
Just trying to flesh out what exactly this thing might look like...
