Hmm. Now I'm worried; I've long thought this would be a Good Idea (TM), and yet if you look at the 'live' project site (presumably the project this was built for): http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/
It's pretty clear that it's not getting any use - it's just a mirror of the mailing list.
I think a good system would still be useful even if no developers or maintainers ended up using it. At the least, it could provide a nice interface for people to find old patches easily. Patchwork seems ok, but has no real features that the mailing list combined with a decent email client doesn't have. A system such as described by Ge and I would allow anyone who was interested to combine, group and watch patches, which gives some incentive to use it.
It doesn't even need to have an emacs interface. Alexandre could continue with his current approach and the system would know whether or not a patch has been accepted by watching the wine-cvs list.
