The instance at <http://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/guix/list/> is
not widely used, it seems. Part of the problem is that it often does
not automatically detect whether a patch has already been committed
(requiring manual intervention), and does not recognize patch series and
revisions.
Newer versions of Patchwork fix the latter, as can be seen at
<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/glibc/list/>. Not sure about the
former.
Maybe we could register at ozlabs.org to see the difference?

Some of us prefer an email-based workflow, though there’s no consensus.
I’ve tried to look for tools that would allow not only email but also a
CLI or Web UI, as you might have seen in the ML archive, but to no
avail. So, concrete suggestions are welcome. :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
