This sounds like a sensible workaround, at least as long as we're doing
the patch parsing on the fly.

And it might end up being useful also later, when we will be doing the
patch parsing at update time, because we probably don't want to show 1
gazillion patches on a single page anyhow, even if they're coming from
the DB.

Ben: care to submit a proper bug report about this?

Orestis: of course feel free to take the lead on this if you'd like to
give it a stab :)

Cheers.

PS in case people on qa-debsources missed that, there might have been a
   surge of interest in Debsources' patches module after this thread on
   debian-devel
   https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/01/threads.html#00005 ,
   where multiple people mentioned it
