git-mailinfo exposes the functions to parse a patch into commit
message and patch.
You get the usual meta data as well.

Point well taken. Still, Savannah already has an excellent git mirror.

Yes. Just worried about automatically creating and pushing very bad

I was hoping that all that will remain outsourced, as it is now. I've
had plenty of bad experiences with importing (CVS mostly) into bzr;
perhaps the route bzr->git is easier, but a working and safe two-way
sync.. . Like you say:

For this reason I was wondering if the patch-bundle route would be a
clean way to push stuff to bzr.
