I'd like to add it; come to that we could usefully record reviewers
too, at least for merges to pqm.

I think that is about the right line, though more specifically than
"handle" I'd say it's whether the rest of the code makes decisions on
them.  The parent revisions, revision id, perhaps the date really are
of this kind.

There is a cost in term of code size to having specific methods to
get/set all these things.

I think it could usefully show that, but it'd be fine for those
methods to take it from a property.
