There should be a variable $(LZOP) and a dependency on host-lzop, just like for lzma. lzop is not a package that you can expect to be available on the host.

AFAIK, there's none. Now that we have patchwork in place, I guess we should probably tell users to not post patches to the Bugzilla, but to the list instead (though that requires users to subscribe to the list).

What do you think?

I agree. But how do we tell the users? :-)

We can start by changing the text on the git page to explicitly request people use the mailing list:
