lvu submit changed - now uses HTTP POST to deliver patch

Auke, do you envisage some gateway to the mailing lists so that other
users can see/discuss submissions, and not just the devs? With the old
submission system, other users could use the new/updated modules in their
zlocals even if the devs didn't accept the submission. Although we will
probably never know whether this actually happened in practice.

And will there be automatic 'accepted' or 'rejected' emails to the
original submitter? I really appreciate the 'Thank you' messages from
Florin and Dennis because they let me know that I can remove my zlocal
copy when I next update my moonbase. And it's a big kick :-)
