First of all, very nice script.
But, it doesn't look like it properly handles empty directories. I tried this command, this morning, and it blew up. I think it's because this directory http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/ is empty because of last night's 2.6.4-rc2 release. I don't grok python very well but is the "return p[-1]" there just to cause a fault like this? Would it be better if it just returned a "no version of that patch right now" message and exited nicely?

I think your script, combined with Rusty's latest-kernel-version could make me a very happy person.
