I just found the patch tracker to be very handy.  I wanted to create a
local darcs branch with some patches I saw on the mailing list applied
to it.  Since I was putting the branch on a remote server I found it
easiest to harvest the patches I wanted using something like 'wget'
then apply them.  Patchwork made this as easy as selecting a url and
then pasting it into a terminal.

I was just thinking about this.  Could we cook up a post-hook command
that sends out an email when a patch bundle is applied to automate
this process?  The hard part will be getting darcs to pass on enough
information to the post-hook to send the email to the right thread on
the maillist.

Thanks,
