Two more ideas for the manager, now that we seem to have consensus to  
build one.

This should also make doing the release notes substantially easier,  
though since there's probably some stuff that wouldn't go through the  
patch queue we'd want commits from the patch queue to be marked  
differently.

That brings up another idea for the patch management webapp...  
presumably it could handle most/all of the process of actually  
committing a patch. Granted, that's not a huge amount of work, but  
it's silly to have committers do by hand that hich could be automated.
