I've added a check for gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org (or libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org 
or fortran@gcc.gnu.org) as author email address in our commit_checker hook 
(in ~gccadmin/hooks-bin).  (Checking a few specific email addresses seems 
a bit simpler than a more general rule of rejecting any @gcc.gnu.org 
address that matches that of a mailing list other than 
gccadmin@gcc.gnu.org.)
