That's a work-flow problem. Either we can do a patch-based email
workflow like Linux does, or we can attach patches to bugzilla bugs. The
latter has less potential for things to get lost if fewer people are
around, so everybody here so far seems to suggest doing that.
Hence, the information on that particular patch can be found in the
bugzilla "tracker item" (
http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139) and I
see little sense sending it to the mailing list in addition to the
bugzilla mails that already cross this list.
If you want to propose changing the workflow, that's fine, but I think
it requires even more attention than a bugtracker.
