There is a filed request to enable email notifications in patchwork:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7684

this notifications will let users (both submitter and CC'ed-users) know
through an email about any patch status change (including "New"). Users
will be able to opt-out of such notifications.

However, this do not covers the case when submitter is not registered as
a Patchwork user. So, there might be a one-time-only email notification
to this kind of submitter, as Patrick suggests.

If I don't get any objections for this, I'll file a request in bugzilla
next week.
