MQ patches are not normally part of the published archive. You can
create your own repository with them and indeed there's an option to "hg
qinit" to do just that.

I'd say you shouldn't. Keep your patches small, so individual changes
can be pulled. But don't throw away most of the machinery your VCS
offers you, especially when collaborating with others.
