One big difference between the two lists is the maximum-message-size
policy ;-). To unify them we would need to relax the size limit on
-hackers, and I'm not convinced that's a good idea. It would likely
drive away at least some people who currently provide valuable ideas
even though they don't care to receive -patches.
