+1 from me.

Here's the documentation:
https://korg.docs.kernel.org/patchwork/index.html

The basics are you just point the bot at kernel tree and whenever that
tree is updated it checks if any of the new commits match patchwork
patches by git-patch-id (or equivalent). Rebases are ok as it will just
"re-accept" the patch with new commit id. The main benefit it has is
transitioning patches to the Accepted state, or Mainline state depending
on what branch you tell it represents those states.

It does require a git.kernel.org tree to monitor, but we might already
get benefit from just pointing it to:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/mst/qemu.git/

...to automatically mark patches as "Accepted". The "Superseded" state
comes for free with the existing patchwork-bot monitoring of the
linux-cxl@ list.
