Understood, but remember that for every one patch submitter, there are
many, many patch reviewers. So we try to optimize the process to the
needs of the many.

Okay. By the way, yes, I'm pretty convinced it should be a long
"--from" option, but obviously if you don't have time to rework the
patch, then the reviewer/applier can take care of it. However, if you
are already familiar with the option parsing code, it might be fast
for you to do it; just let us know either way.
+1 on the general change, of course.
I've got a medium-sized list of saved patches to go through right now;
I'll start reviewing them. Any that are trivial to apply, I'll apply
right away, the rest I'll create `PATCH' issues for.
Thanks for your patience,
