Obviously, one shouldn't waste time doing this for gnats v3.x; it should
be part of gnats v4.
I just wanted to propose/discuss whether such attachments should be stored
in separate files from the PR itself. Or, at least have view/edit options
that don't pass the attachments back and forth. The point is that when
browsing though PRs, you don't necessarily want huge attachments being
sent to you when all you intend to do is change the responsible or close
the PR, for example.
