wouldn't a tool like Phabricator be much better for reviewing and reliably
tracking whether a patch has landed or not? Especially if you use it in
combination with Arcanist? While I'm certainly not a core developer, I find
patchwork clunky. Sometimes it doesn't pick up R-bs or doesn't recognise series,
which makes seeing the actual state of a patch a bit tricky from time to time.

In addition you would get things like automatically closure of bugs, nice
referencing features and lots of other nice features. And AFAIK freedesktop.org
already has a Phabricator instance, which could be used.

Just my outside opinion, though. ;-)

Cheers,
Kai
