sabI love dictionary.com. It doesn't believe "pumpkins" is a word, but it did give me this:

pumpkin
{jargon} A humourous term for the token - the object
(notional or real) that gives its possessor (the "pumpking" or
the "pumpkineer") exclusive access to something, e.g. applying
patches to a master copy of source (for which the pumpkin
is called a "patch pumpkin").
*
If anyone could explain any of those words to me I'd be pretty grateful.
Yours,
Pumpking.
