I've looked a bit at mailscripts.el and it serves as a thin wrapper
around the perl scripts in the same repo.  It has two features: 1) some
light integration with debbugs and 2) apply the patch in this
message/thread to a repo chosen by project.el/projectile. 2) is
basically the same as piem except that it prompts the user for a project
(every time).

I feel like there is an opportunity here to reduce
fragmentation and make piem the main interface to mailscripts.
mailscripts.el is very short and just with this patch it supports half
the functionality of mailscripts.el.  This would of course require
communication with the maintainers of mailscripts and a non-trivial
amount of work.

I'll get back to the comments on the patch later.
