Hi!

The best patch-tracking candidate I’ve seen so far is “patches”, written
by/for the QEMU people (the ‘patches’ package in Guix.)

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/#patches

I think it has everything most of us want, including an Emacs interface.

The main “difficulty” is setting it up on a machine where it can serve
those patches.json files over HTTP based on the mailing list archive
(which could be synced from <ftp://lists.gnu.org/guix-devel/>) and Git
repo.  There’s a README in the the source tree that explains the
details:

  https://github.com/aliguori/patches/blob/master/README-server.md

Would someone like to set it up somewhere and share a recipe?  I’d be
happy to beta-test it as soon as it’s available!  :-)
