Recently I've got some criticism from one hg fanboy who see the absence
of visible metadata in the merge-directive as serious problem to
patches-based code-review workflow.

Vincent, you should remember those days when all bzr development went
through Bundle Buggy and the main way to get your patch reviewed and
approved was send it to bzr ML, while Bundle Buggy did the excellent job
of decoding and exposing those merge directives.

This is not the best answer :-/
