This is helpful, thanks. It occurred to me last night (before
I saw your "patches added" mail) that the low-tech solution of
a response to the email containing the original patch has the
advantage of meaningful subject lines and being close in the
email archives. And it gives a nice place to comment on tweaks
that you might have to make to resolve conflicts.

But I know that's a bit more work and might not fit your
workflow of moving patches between trees, so it's just a
possibility.
