[darcs-users] darcswatch ideas (Was: growing the darcs team)

[zooko]

I have seen the Twisted project [1] and the Divmod project [2] (which  
includes many of the same developers) successfully track patches  
using their issue tracker (which in their case is Trac although I  
think they are switching to Launchpad in the future).

Each patch which is submitted is the subject of its own issue  
ticket.  Discussion about that patch, new versions of the patch, etc.  
are all carried on in the comments on that ticket.  You can always  
tell the status of a patch by visiting the appropriate ticket and  
checking the status fields.  You can find the entire history of a  
patch in the comments, and you can get, of course, the latest version  
of the patch itself.

Here is a randomly selected example:
