It happens every now and then, when the patches (as this one) are really
big.

Fortran patches are somewhat special because they are reviewed on the
fortran@gcc.gnu.org mailing list.  Putting gcc-patches on there
as well is done to give people who are not subscribed to the fortran
list a chance to look at them, as well.

I do not subscribe to gcc-patches, and I strongly suspect that most
Fortran maintainers do not either.

The message in question made it through to fortran@, and I never
had problems there.  Maybe it would be possible to let them
through automatically to gcc-patches if they are accepted to fortran?

Best regards
