patchwork used to work great as an archive (it runs for GCC for almost ten years now). It is not meant as a patch review system: instead, it is meant as something for (kernel) maintainers where they can pick up patches to apply (which isn't our workflow: people apply their own patches, in general). It is also useful to find neglected patches, but that only can work if someone (or a group of people) does the work for that. This doesn't work for us. *Used to* work great... With the From: munging, it now has become quite hard (and very annoying) to navigate, and even just to read :-( Segher
