Hello All! In the Buildroot community, we make heavy use of patchwork to track the patches that we still have pending. The maintainer (Peter, CCed) almost exclusively use pwclient to get that list of patches to apply.
Since we also use the Linux-like tags Acked-by, Reviewed-by and Tested-by, this is an indication to Peter that a patch is ready to be applied. Unfortunately, it is not easy to know at a glance what patches have such tags, without checking the mailing list, so for each patch. We would like to suggest that the web GUI and the pwclient CLI both display such tags besides each patch, a bit like (hypotetical output of pwclient): ID Tags State Subject 123456 ART New Wonderfull patch to apply quickly Where each of 'A', 'R', and 'T' would mean Acked-by, Reviewed-by and Tested-by, respectively. An uppercase letter would mean two of more of such tag, while a lower-case letter would mean a single such tag. This way, it is easy to quickly sort high-profile patches that can be easily handled by Peter without too much work (patches with tags), and to the other contributors (some in Cc too) as a list of patches to look at (patches without a tag). Since patchwork already inserts those tags to the commit log (eg. pwclient view PATCH-ID), I hope it would be easy enough to also display it in the patch list. Regards, Yann E.
