Maybe patchwork for wireless would satisfy one of my concerns,
but it would be nice if John would ack patches like DaveM and Jeff do... :)

It's so much less work for me to click a bunch of buttons on a web
page and work in batch mode, than it is to give personalized
responses.  When you're applying 40, 50 patches in a day, every minute
in the workflow starts to count.

Yes, understood.

I was hoping those ACK emails would be one of the things I could stop
doing if patchwork is effective.  Not immediately, but eventually.

Well, that's a reasonable goal.  OTOH, if everyone wants to know
if their patch was applied, then having 50 people look at a web page
(or at a git tree) is more total overhead than one person generating
an email.  IMHO.  But maybe it depends on which side is being optimized.

Thanks,
