Yes, where is the "bounding for inside testing" patch ?
I can get the news message, but that's no code.

Also, It may be worth to make patches availables as downloadable files
  (either full file or just a file for the patch command (diff is
usually helpful to generate such file).

I think there might be a need for a styleguide, if you intend to make
a repository. (describing what is provided to clients and what is 
requested from submitters; I believe the minimal requirement should be
a patch file and an example pov-scene. Syntax's update should also come 
with full documentation as text file or html (if picture are needed, 
they should be done with pov-script (provided), so that any 
resize/adjustement can be done without loss).
A styleguide extension for picture might be welcome too, in order to
specify some default/classical colour for some items.
(so that there is a kind of homogeneity between the documentations, such 
that all X-axis have the same colour (which should avoid nevertheless 
the shadeless red/green/blue, a more complex colour is better IMNSHO).

Also, as long as patches do not interact, the repository should be easy,
but you may want to nevertheless organise the patches in a tree, the 
root being of course the official 3.5 code.
