Hello Olaf, and first let me thank you for your efforts.

Not very practical, but there are some ways:
- People having a BTS account can delete and upload files. If asked,
they may do it for you.
- Anybody can just attach file(s) to a mail followup to a bug report,
and send it to bug-any@bmo with same "mutt/xxxx:" tag in subject.
- Members of mutt-dev ml can optionally CC mutt-dev: This generates a
dupe, which is unfortunate. But it avoids the harm done to attachments
by Gnats.
- Send to mutt-dev only should be avoided IMHO: The mail and patch
would not be tracked in the BTS.
- In all cases, gzip files to be safe. In some circumstances in the
past, Gnats was cought mangling text patches (IIRC some whitespaces
changes).
- Attach patches, don't include them in mail's body.
Bye! Alain.
