Any reason you can't do this with our git or bzr mirrors?

From a fresh checkout of the Git mirror:

Yeah. Mar 29? That's not quite right, is it?
 

Or for that matter, you can include e.g. an github URL in the ticket
instead of attaching the patch.

Only if there's a decent Github mirror to fork from, otherwise you're asking people to do a multi-hour operation (I know, because I'm doing it right now) to get a decent git repo, followed by a large push to Github, and then maybe you can start doing some work. There is a seemingly good mirror maintained by powdahound, but it's not official and as such is not recorded anywhere.
