Another idea: introduce some simple tag system in mails sent to -hackers
to be treated specially, e.g:

@fest add-to-current

to add new patch to the commit fest currently in progress, or

@fest add-to-next

to add it to the next scheduled fest.

Attribute your mail with

@fest comment COMMENT TEXT

or

@fest comment <<EOF
...
EOF

to add a (long) comment, ditto for "patch" and "review".

How does that sound?
