The thing is that we don't just want to "track" patches. We want to talk
about
patches.

In my ideal world we would mail off our patches to -hackers and the mail
software (this could be a subscription option) would strip them out before
forwarding the message. It would upload them to a web server and put a
link in
the forwarded messages to the file on the web server.

If you have a clever IMAP server and a clever IMAP client you're actually
not
far from that world today. But a lot of us are stuck with at least one
unclever piece of software there.
