I actually would appreciate something like that. :-) Today, if I look at a patch in Patchwork and want to make comments on it, I need to find it in an email client and do that from there which at least is somewhat cumbersome. > This was in the happier(?) days before we had SPF and DMARC, so I don't know > how feasible it would be today.

That might work too I suppose, but I would like it to open up with the body of the message I'm replaying to quoted with "> " (so things don't need to be copied from there by hand). > (I'm not advocating that this be put in patchwork straight away or > necessarily at all, but I think a proof of concept that lives off to the > side of patchwork could be an excellent use of the patchwork API!)
