That's exactly why I had suggested that a developer should commit on a
branch, fix the patch there and then propagate all changes from the
branch. As I learned since then this does not work with monotone because
monotone only propagates the final revision.

What do you think about commiting the original patch, fixing it,
commiting again, and then pushing all these changes? This is the model
suggested by Justin.

So what do you suggest should be done instead?

Ignore anything that a revision control system might be able to do and
let external contributors sort it out manually or with quilt/patcher?
Sorry, that doesn't sound very encouraging.
