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.
