Hi, Ben!

Thanks for sharing about sumo!  What do you do when you need to fix a
bug in, or change, a module?  That is, the fix has not been committed
to the module or a new release has not been made, or you are carrying a
patch specific to your site that upstream does not accept?  Does sumo
support applying a list of patch files?  Or maybe sumo expects you to
host the modified module somewhere (e.g., a forked GitHub repo with your
changes)?

Thanks!

Lewis
