I think I've got the "watching" part settled, at least for patches 
git-mailinfo can understand. I'll push a patch to my git tree for review once 
I got around to fake some test emails to replace the real emails I'm 
currently using without asking the respective authors.

I'm not sure how to handle that on the buildbot side. Any ideas?

Won't this break for changes that require e.g. a rerun of ./configure or the 
like?

I think when treating "apply the patch" as part of the build process, those 
reports are pretty much the same.

Cheers,
