Monotone for Patch Writers

[Ethan Blanton]

Richard Laager spake unto us the following wisdom:

> --author to specify the actual author of the patch. Then, he'd make
> changes if necessary, commit those, then push.

I would like to come up with a way for contributors (and,
particularly, CPWs) to send patches conveniently via monotone -- I've
been kicking some ideas around in my head, hopefully I'll get
something written up soon.
