Sorry, I wasn't very clear there. The binary content is mostly icons, that get added and updated now and then, so outside of the scope of our code review mailing list -- but relevant to the project itself. (The patches themselves are accessible by other means other than the ML too, so reviewers can pull and get proper versions).

Considering that, any of the proposed solutions make more sense now? :-)
