I'm very bad at remembering to bump it, so I also won't mind patch 
authors doing it.

The ideal reminder would be some special comment you could put on the 
catversion line that would cause "git push" to fail if it's still there 
when I try to push the commit to the repository. There doesn't seem to 
be a "pre-push" hook in git, although some googling suggests that it 
would be quite easy to write a small wrapper shell script to check that. 
I'm seriously considering to do that, given that I more often forget to 
bump catversion than not.
