Mmmm. I do agree actually with Russ about this more than I do with
Sean. I agree that for many packages keeping a rebasing patch stack
is very desirable. Where I disagree with Russ is how we should store
and exchange that patch stack. I think we should do that by suitable
git trickery rather than by exporting and reimporting as patches.

We have been occasionally using
vcs-pkg-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org for development type
discussions. There isn't really a user-focused list. I'm happy to
have the conversation here if others don't mind.
