I don't know how much your scripts already do, so below is just a
suggestion how to do some of the preprocessing of patches already during
email reading (the bk magic has to be added by someone else).

bye, Roman

#! /bin/bash

rm -f /tmp/test-patch /tmp/test-log

IFS=""
log=y
while read -r line; do
case "$line" in
---\ *)
	log=n
	;;
esac
test $log = y && echo "$line" >> /tmp/test-log
echo "$line" >> /tmp/test-patch
done

(
	oldtty=`stty -g`
	reset -Q
	vim -o /tmp/test-log /tmp/test-patch
	echo -n "ok?"
	read
	# do more
	stty $oldtty
) < /dev/tty >& /dev/tty
