Partly my fault, but since nobody was using it I was almost going to
retire it a few weeks ago.

As for the automatic cleanup, I had some success with freeipa/sssd
making patchowrk automatically recognize patches and clean up the queue.
But the system is not perfect as rebases may change commit ids and what
not.

However supposedly patchworks accept 'commands' via email in that you
can embed headers that tell it to change a status on a review by
replying to one of the email threads where the patch was sent.
I can see to enable/check if it works.

If there is intention to more seriously use patchwork, we can cleanup
the current queue and I can do some work on it. Maybe we can also
transfer it on a samba.org hosted machine (I still host it as it was an
experiment).

Let me know.

Simo.
