The summary of this bug could just be "There needs to be UI to reach the new +patches view". However, let's start with the project page first. Meanwhile, below are some notes from recent conversations with Jorge Castro and Deryck Hodge about this; some of these could get broken out into separate bugs.

------------------------

Basically, we need a UI to reach the +patches view. For example, go to https://edge.launchpad.net/gwibber and scroll down to the bottom. See where it says "Packages in distributions"? Jorge points out we could have another similar box that says "Patches in distributions". And corresponding to the "All packages" link there would be an "All patches" link.

And in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber, see the stats
box on the upper right? Put some stats about patches in there.

The "Latest Bugs Reported" list is nice; what about a "Latest patches reported"? Or better yet, just show patch icon next to the latest bugs that have a patch?

Deryck points out that from a project's Bugs home page (that is, https://bugs.launchpad.net/PROJECT), in the bugs box over at the upper right, we could add an "N bugs with patches" item in there too.

What about UI to reach +patches view from series pages? E.g.,

  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid
  https://edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/2.0
