This is super-neat. Thanks for working on this. :-)

This part is a little confusing to me. Is it possible (or desirable) to
integrate with wikitech/Labs/Gerrit/Git usernames instead? Integrating
with mediawiki.org feels a bit strange.

Possible enhancements:

* allow file upload of a patch;
* "upload an patch" --> "upload a patch"; and
* perhaps set patch input text area to use a monospace font and/or a code
editor.

Thanks again for working on this!
