A little off topic, but I've just tried darcs
( http://abridgegame.org/darcs/ ). I had never used it before, and all
I had to do to submit a patch was:

(# apt-get install darcs)
$ darcs get http://...
$ cd project-dir

<hack hack hack>

$ darcs record -a
<give my email address to darcs>
$ darcs send

And the patch was sent by email to the maintainer.

No need to set up an archive, no need for a web access, no need for
any configuration, no need for me to give the email address of the
maintainer ... Awfully simple !

For a project with a lot of occasional contributors, this is simply
great, and I'd love arch to be able to provide something as simple as
this.
