Hmm, yeah, I have similar script of my own, except I implemented a support for sending a bulk of patches at once. I think I am just too conservative, but I am perfectly comfortable with my home-grown scripts which detect the next number(s) of sent patch, prepares me an e-mail with attachments I can further amend and the script also attaches the patch to Trac ticket. I think someone other already pointed it out, but numbering patches also make it easy both referring to them during discussions on IRC.
