Hi, the flashrom project is using patchwork with great success. There is one feature that would be pretty helpful for us, but I have no idea whether it already exists and if it does, how to enable/use it: Grouping patches by topic or changing the patch name. Basically, flashrom is a project where people send in success/failure reports, and then we reply with patches while keeping the subject line intact. That means the subject line of a patch will often have absolutely no relation to the patch contents. Example: http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/679/ has subject "Scary error message", but a more fitting description would be "Support MSI K8N Neo4-F mainboard", and it belongs to the "mainboard support" class of patches. Other classes are "flash chip support" and "generic code" and "programmer support". Right now I don't see any way to help specialized developers focus on any given class of pending patches (e.g. some developers only handle mainboard support patches). Having the ability to sort by patch class (if such a concept is feasible in patchwork) or having the ability to change patch names as they appear in the patch list (as long as the original subject is visible on the individual patch page) would be tremendously helpful.
Any input is appreciated. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- "I do consider assignment statements and pointer variables to be among computer science's most valuable treasures." -- Donald E.
