QEMU uses patchew:

https://github.com/patchew-project/patchew

It collects the patch set, merges into current and runs CI testing.  It
can be set up to email the test results as a reply, so it saves a lot
of review time.  It's got quite a nice mailing list interface.  You can
see what it shows with one of my QEMU patch sets:

https://patchew.org/QEMU/20210204193939.16617-1-jejb@linux.ibm.com/

You see the test results and also a diff of what changed from v2 of the
submit.

It seems to work with external mailing lists and any external git repo.
It's not perfect, but it seems to work for a variety of projects as you
can see by www.patchew.org
