2. Is there a way to have a staging branch where all patches are
committed to, which have not been reviewed for let us say one week, to
get more testing and before they go into the dev branch? Maybe it is
easier for people to at least test build such a branch?
Would you be interested in creating such a branch for us? I assume it is
certainly easier to git cherry-pick a patch than to download the mbox
and use git am..
I fully agree. I'm neither using patchwork nor do I find patches on the
list a good idea. I'd welcome for-oe-upstream trees that would contain
patches that -- if good -- we could just pull from.
I actually like patches on the list, because it makes me aware of how is
doing work and keeps me aware of the kinds of things people without
commit access are interested in. Also, it gives people with commit
access a forum for changes they would like reviewed.
I am not opposed to someone creating a git branch or branches created
from list patches, but do not want to see the patches disappear from the
list.
If the patch that was sent to the list comes from git-send-patch (I hope
I hve that correct) there is a script contrib/patchwork/git-am.sh that
makes it really easy to apply the patch.

I'm one of those without commit rights :)
And i think the problem is, that nobody feels responsible for the patches on
patchwork. I know this situation from SHR patchwork, when you don't ask
someone directly to commit a patch from patchwork, nobody will do it.
That's the only way it really works currently.
I have 4 people with commit rights i can ask, so i have no problems but others
probably doesn't know someone...
I think a sort of moderator for patchwork is needed, that assosiats patches to
the maintainer.
There is nothing wrong with nagging people on the list and on irc to
commit your patch :) Sometimes I will commit stuff just because the
author takes a little time to explain the patch to me.
