This functionality wholly duplicates the patch-sanity-checking script
which Andy, Randy and others are working on.

The plan is to merge that script into the tree and, once it's looking
reasonably accurate, we wire a copy of it up to the email lists so that it
autonags patch-senders over the usual trivial junk.  Think of it as an
akpm-over-SMTP server.
