My script is great for single subsystem patches as it gets all the right 
people but I've found problems whenever it crosses multiple subsystems.

Many subsystem owners want to see the whole series of patches to 
understand how they interact.  So the group of patches needs to be 
treated together which would need the wrapper to look at all patches 
instead.
