I've just sent in several patches to address these missing features.

When a line is displayed it will have a red dash (-) at the right
margin if it is deleted by another patch.  Clicking on the dash will
take you to the patch that deleted the line.

I've added a new 'summary' link to each patch in the patch list.  This
link will take you to the page showing what files the patch touched.
