the way darcs itself works is that everyone uses darcs send, even david
and his script picks up patches signed by him and automatically applies
them. In any case, having darcs send go to a public list is really nice.

another possibility if you don't want to mess with gpg is that everyone
darcs send's and then the patches are 'pushed' by a main developer off
the list (which sometimes might be their own patches). I have attached a
handy little script I have bound to 'A'pply in mutt which facilitates this.
