Yup, that was what I had in mind.
In the general case, such an extraction mechanism would be far too
fragile since there are no guarantees that the commentary in the
"Notes:" section hasn't been hand-edited after patch-generation.
However, it's certainly possible that such a simple-minded extraction
technique might be applicable in some well-controlled development
pipeline somewhere.

If we are worried about that, then we can drop this patch series.
