Thanks all, I'm also very happy that it's deployed.

Do you mean here that you'd like less than two weeks between the
announced staging deploy and prod deploy?

I think that indeed would be very useful, but also not a small task to
do well. The links were pretty easy to implement, so I went for that
first.

Overall from what I've heard after talking to people there are a few
main use cases for the commitfest app.

1. As a committer/reviewer/submitter, keep track of all the patches
that you are interested in
2. As a reviewer, find new patches (and from the opposite side, have
reviewers find your submitted patches)
3. As a submitter, trigger CFBot runs
4. Get details on a specific patch (does it pass CI, look at a diff in
a web view, check out the change locally).
5. If there's other usecases please let me know.

I don't use it much for 1 myself. I've been mostly using my
"Interesting" label in my email client for tracking interesting
threads. So instead I focussed mostly on improving 4, and a bit of 2
for now. Now that there's some more useful patch info available for
each patch, I probably also want to start keeping track of patches
that I'm interested in, on the cf app.
