I was thinking the same thing.  What if we all agree to
prepend an exclamation mark (!) to the subject line?  Keep
in mind that threads can become significant long after the
first post.  Putting a "!" in front will be easy to see even
after 20 posts into a thread:

!Re: [PATCH]: Reconfigure framblots.

Such posts would also be searchable on
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/ with this
string:

+subject:/^\!/

But someone should clarify exactly when a post should be so
tagged; we wouldn't want to abuse it.
