That could be nice, if especially if they could set it up so that it
was easy to set up submit-by-mail something like the Darcs repo has,
with a list of GPG keys to auto-apply patches from.

I was actually thinking this too. It really would be annoying to have
Darcs hosting only for Haskell projects. So I guess I really would
prefer that it be one of the existing SF alternatives.
