Sounds exactly like the jitterbug site that Andrew Tridgell set up for the Linux kernel. Linus tried it for a while but unfortunately eventually decided he didn't like it enough. But for the rest of us it was great. Tridge even put in a "test patch" button for Linus that would rsync the current kernel tree, automagically unpack/decompress the patch, apply it and report any errors. I could ask Tridge to set up something like this for us.
