Yes, I meant that if you publish mq patches, then the cease to be mq
patches and start being real changesets (they are always real changesets
in the source repository, it is the recipient who cannot tell that they
are also mq patches.)

Right -- and I suggested that we could even go to the other extreme and
qimport the changesets that we pull as children of the existing mq
patches. With lots of 'hg strip' and 'hg commit --close-branch', two
persons might be able to push/pull mq patches like that. Sort of like
with the dead heads.
