Hi Damien,
That looks great!
Is it a pure pwclient you are using?
This is a different version of patchwork that I maintain for our own use
(I'm part of the i915 kernel team at Intel). That version is deployed on
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/.

The series support is done when emails are parsed by patchwork,
reconstructing email threads and creating series/revisions/patches
objects instead of merely patches objects.
An interesting point is that series objects aggregate the initial
submission, but also subsequent updates. A bit more details on what is
supported:
http://patchwork-freedesktop.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual.html#submitting-patches
Now, I can't stress enough that I still need to iron out some corner
cases. There also are cases where it's ambiguous what the sender is
trying to do. Parsing the intention of the submitter is hard, people
will do the strangest things. I think I'd like to see a tool to wrap git
send-email, that would ensure a more deterministic way of sending
patches and updates after review see:
https://github.com/dlespiau/patchwork/issues/81
That said, we've been using the series support for a few months already
with a CI system that take full series of patches for testing and gives
test results back. So it's already somewhat useful, if you don't mind
the hiccups too much (which can lead to patchwork losing some patches).
It looks fantastic, and it is exactly what I've been looking for for a
long time now.
Why aren't these features merged into base patchwork yet?
How hard can it be to use your patchwork version for another project?
I'm participating in CRIU[1] project and we would love to try your
patchwork mod.
Corner cases are fine, I tried writing my own tool for mailing list
patch tester some
time ago and also did run into a number of corner cases and eventually
decided to
disable it to find a better solution.
