I'm still planning to implement some sort of user friendly service for
this, thanks to Greg the implementation just got a lot easier. I'm
thinking of at least showing the first release it was included in (like
in this case v4.10-rc1) but also the trees where the patch is currently.
This way you and me don't need to remember anything, except the url
where to find it :)
