What do you think?

Happy to try anything that makes it easier to keep track of patches, as long as it allows me to do everything I normally do when merging:

- reformat code (usually whitespace issues, sometimes more substantial changes)

- reword commit messages for consistency

- linearise history (i.e. git rebase)

Given that it's very rare for me to merge something completely unmodified, one very important feature would be the ability to trivially delete branches/pull requests/etc once they had been merged, preferably without using a web interface. (It's possible to use "git push" to delete a remote branch; maybe that would be sufficient?)

Would you like to try setting something up, and importing the various outstanding patches from the mailing list?
