I meant the actual upstreams, but dists like debian too.

I guess we just wouldn't take those patches into our queues.
If those area the only ones, we'll have an empty queue, therefore
nothing to be sent.

Of course, sooner or later we'd want some kind of tracking, which
patches we've already processed, so we eg. never look again on the
rejected ones.

Well, let's see. I dont intend to spend much time (as w/ any other
distro I'm not using myself). Just some (semi-)automatic posting,
just a little glue around git-send-email called by cron ...

Actually, I'm seeing that not limited to depotterization (that's just
a good usecase to start with), but any patches that some distro
(or in embedded case: bsp maintainer) might add ontop certain
upstream tree and can be useful for others.
