This means that patchwork will only work for projects (and
contributors!) that use git though. I'd prefer we keep patchwork fairly
VCS-agnostic.

For the setup on patchwork.ozlabs.org, a flag for parsemail means I'd
need project-specific configuration outside of the admin system, which
seems a bit clunky.

Regards,


Jeremy
