Personnaly I do the effort to review other people stuff as I've to do on
U-Boot for my Maintainer staff specially when I've to review them also for
U-Boot as example the Nomadidk stuff

I've try the patchwork system for some month and It's for really the same as
your patch system but if you configured it correctly it will simplify your
life. I've start to develop 2 or 3 scripts that I use with mutt to change the
state on a patch and co, to have something near your patch system
