Well, unless anyone has any serious objections (or DC can pull it off soon), I can implement a site for this.

Kind of like the ac patches for linux (and now the aa and who > knows who else is doing it now). Exactly. For example, here two simple patches that should be collected and posted toward 2.1.6: - patch for renaming single objects (something I have seen in the new 2.2.0a version); - patch for the REQUEST object problem What do you think about it ?

I think we see this proposal about every three months on average. ;-) Personally, I would like to see a patch collector, for 'unofficial patches'.
