Actually setting up patchwork on sourceware

[Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

In an attempt to make progress on the subject of choosing a tool to
track patches in glibc, I had created a patchwork instance on my
server[1] for people to try their hand at it and to see what kind of
changes we need to the tool to suit our requirements.  A few of us
signed up and tried their hand at using patchwork and so far there
haven't been any complaints.

Following Carlos' suggestion, I created a wiki document to define a
workflow around patchwork[2], which got some feedback and subsequent
editing.

Since there haven't been any further questions or comments on either
the choice of tool or the workflow, I propose that we create the final
instance on sourceware and start using it.  Does anyone have any
objections to it?

I volunteer to help with setup and migration, but I don't have access
to the sourceware server beyond the glibc git repo, so I'd appreciate
help on that end.  The setup and migration sequence:

- Set up the patchwork application and database on sourceware and
  configure it to use SSL by default.
- Migrate earlier patches and state from patchwork.siddhesh.in
- Subscribe a user for patchwork to libc-alpha
- Have all maintainers sign up
