Without speaking for anyone else, I think such a feature would be beneficial and I'd be happy to see it come in. I'm not personally able to mentor you on this, because I have limited time to work on Git, but perhaps someone else on the list would come along and be happy to walk you through it.

I _would_ be fine with being put on a CC for the patches to provide a review, however.
