if I understood correctly you mean with »patches from patchwork that are
still applying« that the mbox file can be applied with `git am` as
`pw-am.sh` does [1].

That requires that all patches are submitted using `git send-email`,
which has been suggested lately on this list by several people, or that
everyone uses a MUA which provides easy handling of mbox files created
by `git format-patch`. Is that correct?

I will start a separate thread regarding `git send-email`.

Thank you for your effort and bringing up `pwclient`. It is so sad, that
there exists a lot of tools and stuff one does not know about which
could safe work and time for oneself. I wonder why others projects did
not face the same problems yet. Probably every project or developers
wrote her/his own scripts (as OE did with `pw-am.sh`) and everyone
reinvents the wheel.


Thanks,

Paul
