Patch Tagging Guidelines standardized in Debian as DEP3

[Raphael Hertzog]

Hello,

I'd like to bring to your attention an ongoing discussion in Debian. I
drafted a Debian Enhancement Proposal (DEP) to formalize something similar
in spirit to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines

The end result is likely to not be 100% compatible to your format. So you
might want to check it out and ensure it meets your needs as well as those
of Debian. I think it is an improvement over your format (as it also tries
to be more vendor-agnostic) and as such the small burden of having to
convert progressively the meta-information in your patch is not a big
deal.

Check out the discussion here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/06/msg00458.html

Cheers,

PS: I put in carbon copy those who contributed to the wiki page.
