This looks great, thanks.

In any event we are now finally in the
position where our patchwork instance can be relied upon to collect emails,
and the UI is much improved. This should give us a bit more visibility into
where patches are at in the process, although we are still working on a few
places where patch series status needs to be updated (e.g. when a patch goes
into testing).

What's the plan for these status updates -- is the idea that you go to patchwork UI to see the state of a specific patch set?
Or maybe a reply to either patch sender or even the ML?

On top of patchwork we have built a simple smoke-testing framework called
"patchtest" [5] along with a suite of corresponding tests for OE [6]. These
tests are fairly simplistic at this point but check the basics such as whether
a patch has been properly signed off, etc. We should soon start seeing replies
sent to the mailing list and to submitters with results if there are any
failures, saving us from noticing and pointing out some of the more obvious
classes of mistakes.

 Is there a reason for patchwork only showing "success" or "failure" in the web ui, instead of linking to test results at least in in the failure case?
