gbp pq is just another way of quilt patches. The debian/patches written
by gbp pq are compatable with quilt. The patches written to by quilt can
be read using gbp pq import.

While gbp pq has a patch queue stored in git, you probably don't want to
push this to a shared repo.

But: If you create patches with quilt, and then import and export them
using gbp pq you might find that gbp pq wants to make minor/trivial
changes to the unchanged patch files. Which can be irritating when
making security patches, etc. Maybe this is why the practise is not
recommended?
