Hmmm it would be terrible. Just thinking about what a conversation would look like :
"Hi guys, I found a bug in xxx subsystem, basically it did blablabla to my box when I tried to blablabla. I fixed it the dirty way, please consult the patch list and look for subject XXX. => reply : Hi foo, there was an cleaner fix, yours is buggy because blablabla. please use my reply to your mail on the patch list instead. "
Most people here *comment* patches : - methods - bugs - typos - coding style
There's no way to do this on two separate lists. It's already very annoying when someone posts an HTTP link to some content outside !
