Again, I think we should start with the tools like PGP used and go from there. See http://www.pgpi.com/project/. We will need some free OCR software and a font with visible tabs and spaces. Some perl scripting to do error correction and we should be well on our way. Once a working gateway exists, then we can worry about standards..

Yes. I believe it must be human-readable. Though apparently a recent release of PGP source included a BINARIES.ZIP that was legitimately transferred, so it might be legal to compress patches before sending them.
