Being merely a collection of references means we wouldn't need any

they'd be willing to do that, if they don't already, in order to be
included in the "repository."
Using del.icio.us doesn't prevent you from having a page on some
other server to hold those patches whose authors don't have the
resources to publish for some reason.
True. So we can e.g. register qmailpatchrepository.org (and maybe
qmailpatches.org redirecting to it :-) and host copies of {some,all}
patches there. Once we've got the domain, we can do all manner of
things. For starters:
* an index.html regularly pulled from del.icio.us/qmail.patch.repository
* an actual repository so patch changes can be tracked over time
* an RSS feed and notification-only list hooked up to the repository
Does anyone agree, disagree, want to pitch in?
