Any tips on workflow?

In the kernel world, we have tools that do this for us, most of us rely
on a tool called `b4` https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/ but that
might not work for mutt patches given that it relies on lore.kernel.org
to retrieve the patches from and then do the collection of
reviewed/acked tags.

There are some other scripts floating around that other kernel
maintainers use before b4 came to be, personally I just hand-edited the
patches in mutt (using e for edit) to add the tags and then a mutt macro
to automatically apply the patch from the email "|git am -s\n"

hope this helps a bit.

Yes, that is interesting. Thank you. It looks like at least some parts are hard-wired for kernel work, but I'll still take a look at the trailers part!
