[RFC] Git based patch tracking and review

Hi,

I've been working to add patch tracking and candidate review to git. The motivation for this is simply that most patch tracking systems are centralised, since git is a distributed vcs it seems appropriate that patches, reviews and comments should also be distributed.

The system aims to be fairly minimal, it adds a candidate subcommand which can be used to manipulate the state of candidates: add reviews, comment, submit new versions etc. This prototype is, as you would probably expect, by no means complete, at this point it seems useful to stop and ask where we should take this next.

git-candidate is written in perl, with the hope that in time it can potentially be included within contrib.

The original source repository for this project can be found at https://bitbucket.org/richardipsum/git-candidate
