So, I was thinking about starting a repository for these patches. Initially, this will just be a collection of contributed patches and nothing more.
I was thinking along the same lines myself; I just haven't gotten around
to dedicating a box to it yet. My personal preference is for a wiki,
because without some documentation and explaination, most patches are
pretty incomprehensible even for the average programmer.
Qmail has been maintained in a similar fashion for many years, due to the inability to redistribute a modified source tree. So, there's no reason TMDA couldn't exist forever without a new fork, although that might be necessary somewhere down the line if the list of non-discretionary patches gets too large.
I've been trying to take a bigger hand in bug-hunting and feature patches, but I personally have no desire at this time to maintain the code base. So unless someone else does, I think the patch wiki is the current best way forward.
If no one else does it before then, I'll probably slap something wiki-ish (and therefore more or less self-maintaining) together on a forthcoming CodeGnome web server.

I have a net accessible box with working cvs that I would be willing to donate for a TMDA tree. In fact, last night I pulled down the latest cvs from sourceforge, but I haven't yet got it commited into the repository...still have to set up some kind of access control, too.
