Bugs with patches attached

In my opinion this whole discussion is not related to bug triaging at
all, launchpad.net has to provide a clearer interface to handle
patches.

Some changes would simplify the patch committing process a lot:

* allow subscribing to new patches on a per package basis
this could be similar to the new "subscribing to bugmail"-feature.
this way people and groups can be directly notified when new patches
are added to a bugreport. as a result of this groups can easily
implement an IRC bot for patch notification for example.

* improve the +addcomment page
Let's say I'm new to LP and/or ubuntu and I would like to submit a
patch. It would be nice if this site could give me the names of the
maintainer and the uploader (and people who are interested in new
patches for this special sourcepackage). This are the people to whom I
can address my patch and who I can get in contact with when I have
some more questions.

* better presenting of patches in LP
some bugreports have lots of attachments, in this case it would be
nice if there could be a seperate "patches" applet in the very left
column

* list of patches on a per package basis

* adding an extra icon for bugreports with attached patches
in buglists there ar icons for milestones, branches and available
mentors, why not adding a icon for patches

just my 0.5 cent :)
