 FWIW at <https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/gdb/> we have a working 
instance of patchwork too that can be used to track own and other people's 
submissions, which also has been recently brought up to date as far as the 
engine is concerned, thanks to people using it actively for the glibc 
project.  They've even set up a weekly meeting recently to review patches:
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PatchworkReviewMeetings>.  That might 
be something to consider I believe for patch management.
