Hellooooooooo !

Yep.

Then it shouldn't be. Otherwise you will be the one complaining on
tickets, and I prefer to anger a bot than to anger you :-P

We will probably have to rebase them anyway if you merge your patch
which changes all doctests.
And we will probably have to rewrite our patches anyway to use git. Or
to work on them, at the very least.

Didn't you say that it was possible to automatically update all
patches uploaded on the trac server ? We would just have to write new
ones cleanly !

Then the message sent by the patch could be : Your patch is badly
formatted, as we now use "....:" instead of "...". You can download a
bash script <there> that will convert your patch for you.

Another alternative, if your only problem is that the patches merged
are not the patch that appear on the trac ticket is to.... Upload the
version that you merge on the trac tickets :-P
