Agreed, the basic loop is cron, git rebase and a model call, and that's roughly where this started. Most of the work went into the checks around it: running the tests on both the release and the moved copy, so a failure upstream already has doesn't block you; not dropping a patch as "already upstream" without evidence; and a final check that every hunk is still there after the model's rewrite (the benchmark caught a case where it silently dropped some). If your script does those, you don't need this. Out of curiosity, what made you stop maintaining yours: keeping the script working, or conflicts the model got wrong?
