Probably this is unattainable because qmail is not really a one size
fits all MTA (or rather, nobody needs all the same features from qmail).
Many people have different needs; which is likely one of the reasons
qmail is still a contender for MTAs. Instead, it might be easier for a
given admin to just learn CVS and make their own repository for their
needs (or use RCS if they don't necessarily need CVS). I used to apply
the patches I needed for my installations by hand. Lately I have finally
broken down and just setup my own repository with those things I need.
Then it is much easier to add to the base of what I have already setup
if and when it is needed; I can even have different branches for
different things. This solution is akin to teaching a man to fish. :-0
