In a wiki context, this sort of thing has got "Template" written all over it. I've done a little editing on Wikipedia, so I've got some idea about how to make wiki Templates work. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but if nobody else has a particular yen for it, I can have a go at setting up some simple templates to make it easier to add a "patch" or a "review" in a structured way. > Lastly, I would say that pushing submitters to enter their sent patches > into the Wiki worked -- we need to ensure that they keep doing it. > +1. Although I wouldn't say that there has yet been a "push" for submitters to enter their patches into the wiki =) I've started adding my own patches to the wiki recently. The only thing about the process that sucks is that I need a URL linking to the message in the archives. I naturally want to add my patch to the wiki immediately after sending my email to -patches, and it takes some material interval of time for messages to show up on the archive. My solution was to just pull the message ID out of the headers in gmail and fudge the URL. So the URL I add to the wiki is actually borked until the archives refresh themselves, which is less than awesome ... Apart from the archive linkage thing, I found the process of queueing my own patches smooth, straightforward and satisfying. I would recommend it to other submitters, if for no other reason than to reduce the amount of drudge work the core team has to do to keep things in order.
