FTR I've just sent two PRs:
1) Support `#syz test` without arguments -- in that case, syzbot
checks out the latest commit on the fuzzed branch.
2) Parse all kinds of email titles in `#syz dup`.

I'll deploy them soon.

Thanks for the idea!
I've filed https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/4182

The biggest problem is to figure out the command syntax that'd also
let us specify the tree on which to apply the patch. Or to restrict
the patch testing to either apply the patch from lore on top of the
fuzzed tree or to accept repo/branch/patch explicitly.
