I think this has potential for excessive clutter. I propose that, if
we're going to have a column with addition/deletions, we have two
things:

1. the total number of addition and deletions in the whole patch
series, for the last patchset version posted. This would be shown in
the column.
2. a per-patch breakdown of the number of addition and deletions for the
last patchset version posted, one line per patch. This would appear
in a tooltip on the column for the totals, to avoid interface
clutter.

Seems reasonable, though I don't see much of an use-case for this.
