I mailed above address from the very same address I registered this discourse account. The answer was:

Subject: [NixOS Discourse] Email issue – Insufficient Trust Level
We’re sorry, but your email message to [“nixos1+dev-patches@discoursemail.com ”] (titled …) didn’t work.
Your account does not have the required trust level to post new topics to this email address. If you believe this is an error, contact a staff member .

As an alternative, I mailed nixos1+inbox@discoursemail.com as described in About the Inbox category , which does create a thread in the Inbox category, yet only the commit message makes it through - patches are silently dropped.
Please provide working ways to submit patches through mail.
@kl3 I bumped your trust level, can you try again please?

My mail got through without any trust issues this time apparentely,
but the diff is still missing - see my other reply.
Hi! I just sent a few patches to the email. How can I be sure that they were successfully received by discourse, and not lost in SMTP oblivion?
Update: I have once again gained access to my GitHub account. If the patches arrive, please ignore them.
