I do want to point out that at least for me, it's not a very big
annoyance. It would be sad if people who actually_use_ quilt lose a
feature they use for this.

I've seen it twice in the last few months, so it's not like it's all
that noticeable. It's a bit annoying when it happens, but it's not a
show-stopper.

Either I don't interact with a lot of quilt users, or (quite likely)
people don't always use quilt itself to then send the patches (the
same way I don't use git send-email to send patches even though I
obviously use git).
