From a conversation with Helmut on IRC:

Let's add a 'debian-svp patch' subcommand that takes a patch rather than a fixer.

Various bits of metadata could be prepopulated from the patch:

If the patch was a debdiff, then we could probably get the source package name from it (and retrieve the Vcs-Git header)
If it was a git-am-style patch, we could look at the subject and body for the merge proposal description
In other cases, we could look at the new entries in the changelog to come up with a good body for the merge proposal.
The branch name could be derived from the filename

If there is no supported hoster associated with the package, then we could fall back to creating a bug in the BTS (see also #8).

If the patch happens to conflict at some point, then we may want to provide multiple options:

Leaving the merge proposal conflicted (and letting the maintainer deal with it)
Closing the merge proposal and forwarding the patch to the BTS
Letting the submitter resolve it
