What about having tickets? Track for example or something like that
and the submitter feeling an itch to scratch just uploads it to a
ticket. This way you know the reason for a patch and can even have
a little discussion as well as a link to the revision where it
got incorporated. Couldn't be cleaner I think...
The link to the ticket is also rather stable and you can
communicate in mailinglist about it.
