This seems like a pretty good idea, but maybe it'd be easiest to take
it a step further and add an "automatic pgindent-ified" patch is
created when a patch is added to the commitfest app? If the original
patch didn't apply cleanly, just don't make the "pgindet-ified" link a
link and instead mark it red/strikethrough or some such?

It would probably be good to have both pieces, so that patch authors
could verify things outside of the app.
