In the roundup repo, extensions/messages_as_mbox.py is hard-coded in a
few places to assume "issue" objects.  It should be changed to support
both issue and patch objects.

I've tentatively assigned this to kowey, since AFAIK he did the
original work on the patch objects.  I tried to sort it out myself,
but I had some trouble creating example patch objects in
roundup-demo's web UI.

When submitting the form at

    http://127.0.0.1:8080/demo/patch?@template=item

I got the error

    Error: 'No key (username) value "darcs-users" for "user"'

So I logged out and tried to create an account "darcs-users" by
browsing to

    http://127.0.0.1:8080/demo/user?@template=register

I got the error

    You do not have permission to register the user class.

I managed to create darcs-users:

    $ sqlite3 db/db
    SQLite version 3.6.20
    Enter ".help" for instructions
    Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
    sqlite> select * from _user;

    sqlite> .quit
    $

Now I get an error I can't interpret (when creating a patch):

    Error: 'No key (username) value "patches" for "user"'

When I try to create a patch object via the web UI

    http://bugs.darcs.net/patch?@template=item

I also get an error: "Username required".

You also need to create a user called 'patches' (ie. patches@darcs.net)
This user is systematically deleted from the nosy list.

Hi Trent, Sorry to send this back.  Did you have better luck after creating the
'patches' user?
