I think there were a few things that compounded the problem, in addition to
the mailing list being rather busy/noisy. The first is that my mail server
was configured to use DKIM, which fails when the mailing lists rewrite the
contents (to add ads, for example) and causes emails to be tagged as spam.
Secondly I wasn't familiar with "git send-email" and so was sending patches
as attachments, which some people in the community dislike. Thirdly, I'm
not sure I was cc'ing the maintainers or just sending to
edk2-devel at lists.sourceforge.net .

However, there does still seem to be a bit of a problem: apparently they're
having problems applying the patch I sent with "git send-email".  If people
at Intel think it would be simpler, I have a Phabricator instance setup at
https://edk2.bluestop.org that could be used for posting patches in
addition to the existing edk2 repo browser. I also got a Jenkins build farm
set up at the weekend (https://edk2.bluestop.org:8000/jenkins/) that I'm
hoping people will find useful.
