It would be much easier to provide patches for last released version
rather than "trunk". It takes significantly less time to use "hg init"
etc. than trying to guess working HgGit/Dulwich combination to be able
to download latest version from git repositories (at least for
Dulwich), compile them and install. Dulwich doesn't compile without
--pure option on Windows and it may happen that I am alone among
Windows users who knows how to compile it. This can easily overwhelm
and demotivate contributors. My attempt to work with Dulwich was not
the first, BTW. In previous attempts I've run out of time without any
outcomes or even questions.

patchbomb requires SMTP server and I do not have any except GMail. And
the last thing I want is to store my GMail credentials in cleartext
format. patchbomb could be more useful with Gmail OAuth.
