Managing patches is actually the job of a version control system.  The
usual way of dealing with this problem is to have a testing branch
where all dubious patches go, people or test suites test this branch,
and patches that are found to be working fine are merged back to the
trunk.  Unfortunately, merging doesn't work very well in svn, but I
still think this is a much better solution than dealing with patches
manually.
