Pull requests with patches

Hi,

I was looking at how patchwork deals with pull requests and noticed that
when it parses a message containing both a pull request and a patch, it
will create two Patch() instances (one with the patch as its content and
the other without content but with a pull_url):

    if patchbuf:
        mail_headers(mail)
        name = clean_subject(mail.get('Subject'), [project.linkname])
        patch = Patch(name = name, content = patchbuf,
                    date = mail_date(mail), headers = mail_headers(mail))

    if pullurl:
        name = clean_subject(mail.get('Subject'), [project.linkname])
        patch = Patch(name = name, pull_url = pullurl,
                    date = mail_date(mail), headers = mail_headers(mail))

However, these are not automatically inserted in the DB, so only the
second ends up being saved.

I think it would make sense to create a single Patch() instance in this
case with both a pull_url and the patch content (although it may be
necessary to change the template to render such a patch correctly). Is
there anything that would prevent that from working?

Oh, and another issue I found is that the existing pull-request regex
doesn't catch pull requests like this:
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/534761/>. Would it make sense to
have a more generic regex or maybe a list of regexes?

Cheers,
