[Cython] code review

[Gary Furnish]

Trac doesn't have two way notification emails, only outgoing (as far
as I know).  Roundup looks neat (especially the two way email
integration), but I'm not happy about the lack of a good interface for
viewing patches compared to trac's (Example:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/3025/9609.patch
), as roundup just displays the raw text.
