How about using a modern source control system, like git? It's
good enough for the Linux kernel...

And after using it for a bit, I think it's actually pretty easy.

No "commit politics" with git. If you want to maintain an
interesting patch / patchset, you just do so and publish your
tree.

If upstream (JED) wants it, he just pulls from your tree. If he
doesn't, then you have the extra burden of maintaining your
patchset against upstream (but the tool makes it pretty easy to
merge), and interested users can always pull from you.

Just a thought.
