It is not like anybody (including me) needs realtime up-to-date

I thought the same for a long time, but contributing to other projects
showed me that this is not necessarily the case. Having a real time
update, even if it would be just "your patch is labeled 'under discussion'"
is beneficial as I would know where it is "in the system".

Well, you wouldn't have an access to the up-to-date amlog maintained
by me *UNTIL* I push it out at the end of the day.  So by
definition, you do not have real-time access to the up-to-date
state.

And also by definition, you do not *NEED* such an access, because
you won't see newly created or rewritten commits, whose originating
Message-Id is not in the copy of amlog you have (yet), until I push
the day's integration result out *AND* you fetch what I pushed out.
