If the point is to get a commitment from the outsider that the patch
is licensed appropriately, you probably want them to add the
"Signed-off-by" themselves, or in some other way have them make that
clear.

Perhaps we want to invert the mailing-list structure, then? Currently
debathena@ is on athena10@ and not vice versa, so this proposal would
have the people on athena10@ miss the technical discussions while the
outsiders on debathena-listeners see the policy and IS&T discussions.
