I think a good system would still be useful even if no developers or
maintainers ended up using it. At the least, it could provide a nice
interface for people to find old patches easily. Patchwork seems ok,
but has no real features that the mailing list combined with a decent
email client doesn't have. A system such as described by Ge and I
would allow anyone who was interested to combine, group and watch
patches, which gives some incentive to use it.

It doesn't even need to have an emacs interface. Alexandre could
continue with his current approach and the system would know whether
or not a patch has been accepted by watching the wine-cvs list.
