I'm not sure if we should really go on and add everyone's personal favorite
zip extension to the global allow list.

I suggested zip, which was probably already on the allow list to allow users
to forwarding files that would be otherwise denied.

Up to this mail I used all those extensions at least some time myself, but
are we really going to expect users to send attachments with .xz extensions
to this public list?

I see the problem where we currently miss text mails with .diff, .patch,
.log, etc. but I wouldn't mind not receiving attachments with some of the
less common packaging or binary extensions. (Do we really want to forward
those to all mail readers?)

svn asks users to send their .dmp files to the list, but do we really want
to have them on a high volume list?
