No not really.. You only post indrect to the list via the ticket system... all 
things will hit then the mailinglist and can be discussed there if the need is 
there :)

There will be such a gateway. All things which are added to tickets in trac 
get already bounced to the list. Vice versa is not working atm, I work on this 
currently. Afterwards you only needs to cc ticket at midnight-commander.org (or 
something else) and the answer will show up in the corresponding ticket.

No, sadly not.. at least I found nothing up to now. Bug I'll search further. 
:) Until there is a solution for this we need to do this by writing something 
into the ticket ( a defined text for ACK /NACK). Maybe something like this:
 - XYZ-asdf.patch revision 2 : ACK
or:
 - ABC-fdsa.patch revision 1 : NACK 

There exists a VotePlugin but as I understand it you can only vote for tickets 
and not for patches with different revisions... and this doesn't help us in my 
eyes :S

I'll have a look on the plugin.. but there seems to be some issues with newest 
trac (0.11) which is running on www.m-c.org.

Should be there now (together with your ssh access). Do you want to write this 
down in the wiki and link it on the first page? :)
