[Mobile-sig] Next Steps for "Working" Port

[Wes Turner]

One could:

* Submit a group of patches as attachments on a bug in the issue trackers
and link to the patches (in sequence, if necessary) [described in detail in
the devguide] and hope that others can reproduce the build

* Create a git branch and a GitHub pull request [there are currently a few
PRs at gh:python/cpython]
  * http://documentup.com/skwp/git-workflows-book
  * If there was a repository PR hook, the CI system would build the code
on each push to a PR branch (such as w/ buildbot)
* Create a git patch series with git-guilt

* Create an hg branch (or bookmark, if you're working with hg-git and want
to approximate git branches) and a bitbucket pull request [there are
currently zero PRs at bb:mirror/cpython]
* Create a patch queue with a series of patches w/ Mercurial MQ:
  *
