Patman is a useful tool for creating, checking sending out patches. It automates the creation of patches, simplifies checking them and handles cover letters and change logs.
However once patches are sent and reviewers add Reviewed-by tags, etc., these must be manually added into the commits using git before the next version of the series is sent. Also, the only way to look at patches is in the web interface. It would be nice if patman could talk to Patchwork and collect the review tags itself. Even better if it could show the review comments in a command-line view patch-by-patch to speed up addressing comments. This series adds these features to patman, talking directly to the Patchwork REST API. While pwclient seems like it could handle some of this, or at least provide a library to patman, the documentation[1] doesn't really explain what the commands do and it doesn't seem to work with the current Patchwork (e.g. pwclient git-am requires a patch number but Patchwork seems to use an ID now). With these changes it is possible to type 'patman status' and see a list of new review tags. It is also possible to create a new branch with those tags and list out the review comments as small snippets on the command line. I have been using these features for a little while and they seem useful, so herewith a series. Some of the patches here clean up style problems in patman and other minor problems. See the last four patches for the main changes.
