Answering my own question.

Yep. Duh.
Just generate the patches as I did in my my first mail. Then use
mtime.sh:
#!/bin/sh
for patch in $@ ; do
commitdate=$(head -n 5 ${patch} | \
grep "^Date" | \
cut -d: -f 2-)
touch -d "${commitdate}" ${patch}
shortfn=$(echo "${patch}" | cut -b 1-30)
echo "Changed ${shortfn} to ${commitdate}"
done
to change the modification time of every patch I care about. Now I can
list the files by modification time, achieving exactly what I want.
I really love a full posix environment sometimes.
Sorry for the noise,
