Well at that point you're basically talking about using a patch tracker =)

As a matter of fact, I'm hoping that managing commitfests via the wiki
will demonstrate what patch tracking can bring to the project, as well
as help illuminate what we would actually require from patch tracking
software.  There's been a lot of conjecture on that topic, but putting
the wiki into practice might give us some real empirical results to
mull over.

Being able to submit patches via a web form is one of the more obvious
benefits of a real patch tracker.  I'm not aware of any way to
accomplish this in mediawiki without resorting to some nasty script
hackery.

Cheers,
BJ
