I agree there too. That's the problem I'm interested in solving too,
and I think that the proposed solution of having some pseudoheaders
added to the patches and an automated system to fetch those patches
and publish them automatically would be the best solution. This would
allow an easy inspection, not only from upstream, but also from people
from other distros, third parties and Debian collaborators.
