Been there. Done that. Know the phenomenon quite well.

I do indeed integrate multiple pull requestes. I have developed a set of
scripts to provide some structure to the process. Nothing as fancy
as Andrew Morton's quilt scripts, but enough to save me from making
too many cockpit errors.

For starter I would like to see a page with a less structured set of
links to available pull requestes and the dwm releases supported. Ideally
this would not be a set of links to individual contributor's web
tabs but a repository at suckmore.org. Similarly I would like to
see a collected repository of interesting config files.

What I understand you to be suggesting is if I integrate pull requestes
X, Y, and Z that I would post a bundle providing the results of my
integration efforts. Is this correct? If it existed I would be
both a client and a contributor.
