Not that I know of unfortunately. I think the apply part is done by https://github.com/macdice/cfbot/blob/master/cfbot_patchburner_chroot_ctl.sh#L93-L120, which seems reasonable. So basically any extension outside of those could be used, excluding of course anything clearly suspicious that would be rejected by many email providers. > Two specific scenarios seem to be interesting: > > 1.

I'm assuming that someone wanting to send an additional patch to be applied on top of the OP patchset is part of 2?
