Patchwatcher should ignore AppDB patches

[Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes]

I just sent a patch for the AppDB, and was told it didn't apply to Wine. That 
was never the intention, of course.

Perhaps it can ignore mails with [AppDB] in the subject line, or patches 
containing .php files?

Maybe there should be a separate appdb-patches mailing list. I've
found it difficult to to find appdb patches based on the [AppDB]
prefix since the appdb code uses that for other notification emails.

I agree, that would be a much better solution. :)

Would it be appropriate to have a separate website-patches as well?

Thanks,

Better yet:

[e-mail] - for wine.git patches

[e-mail] - for AppDB/website/tools/documentation/bugzilla

IMHO there's it not enough traffic yet to warrant fragmenting it 
across multiple mailing lists.

As far as I know the AppDB does not send any email prefixed with 
'[AppDB]' to wine-patches. So finding AppDb patches in the wine-patches 
mail folder should be easy. Or do you mean that your email tool has 
trouble filtering on both wine-patches and [AppDB]? (I didn't try but 
I'd be surprised if procmail couldn't)
