Charles, I'm not a DD, so I'm asking to you (and Andreas, and Nelson, and $DD)
to do a proposal on -devel :)

Can we standardize the patch header? Be it quilt, dpatch, $foo, the header
might be something like:

Author:
Forwarded:
Description:

I'm currently starting to use this format:

Author: Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
Forwarded: no | http://$url_of_upstream_BTS_with_patch
Reason: foo
 another line
 .
 Another paragraph

Do you (all) believe that would be a good idea? :)

Kindly,
David
