Hi Joey,

The idea (for now, at least) is just to track patches submitted (and
accepted) upstream.  It's currently not integrated with any of the other
tools we use.

Ideally the engineers would only have to CC their patches to
patches@xxxxxxxxxx and we'd watch the upstream branches and detect which
ones have been accepted.  In practice it doesn't work like that, though,
because sometimes patches are changed upstream before being committed
and we don't have a reliable way to detect superseded patches, so we
have to ask the engineers to regularly check their list of patches with
no feedback and update their state when appropriate.  That should be
everything the engineers have to do, though.

Cheers,
