What seems to be wanted here is something of a combination, or wrapper, of three tools: git-format-patch(1), git-send-email(1) and reportbug(1). I think that in the vast majority of cases this tool would produce the needed output even if your git tree was not obtained with dgit clone, so I would hope that it could be completely decoupled from dgit. (so, I would rather put it in devscripts, but that is unimportant) -- Sean Whitton
