Hmm, as a youngster who's been around for twenty-something years only (my first patch was for glibc, back in 1998) I haven't even heard of this patch service before. It doesn't appear linked to our mailing list either and instead you need to go through the hoops of a web interface (and open an account first) to submit a change. > Our > bug tracker is there their too.

That's precisely what patchworks is for, which has been used to various extent for the GNU C library, GCC and GDB already. All of which projects are of similar vintage to DejaGnu and I reckon rather important for the GNU project. Given that our main patch submission channel is e-mail, what's the point in using a system that does not accept one? Maciej
