There are several "casual contributors" and developers who don't

if we simplified things for them and also simplified the patch
related workflow. E.g. it would be nice, if Trac could present an
overview of pending patches, help with reviewing them, and maybe
even provide a "Commit" (and "Test build and commit" :-)) button.
Did anyone ever consider using Patchwork[1] for tracking patches?
It was considered for QEMU.[2] It seemed rather easy for patches sent
to the mailing list to appear in Patchwork, but actually marking
patches as applied or WIP by the maintainers seemed trickier, given
the patch volume.
I think Trac is much nicer than Patchwork, as it allows more people to
comment on the patch and to get cc'ed on the ones you're interested
in. It's the Trac -> SVN step that's the bigger burden for the
developers, I guess, and Patchwork doesn't help with that.
