I'm an horribly bad web designer, but one cool thing to do if someone is
good at it, would be a web-pased patch repository. You send patches with
a web form (eventually an upload mecanism) along with your  email, a
comment, etc..., they get assigned a patch number automatically, anybody
can consult the database, and people with write access to BK can mark
them (accepted, refused, postponed, ... along with a comment) once they
have been handled.

Any volunteer to design such a site ?
