Sorry, I don't think I understand what do you mean by ``patch sets''.

AFAIK, Emacs has never released any patches (is there a project that 
does?), only tarballs of new versions where some problems are fixed
(and new exciting ones are added ;-).

That already happened, I think: the directory on alpha.gnu where we put 
the pretests is no longer secret or unreadable.  And on top of that, 
there's anon CVS access.  Isn't that enough?
