Jose, in your "parsemail: Set patch state from email metadata" patch you
said that it "allows project maintainers to change a patch status
directly from an email message".

Can you clarify who the "project maintainers" are who can use this email
interface?

What about this use case here: the original author wants to retract a
patch. Can he do that via email and/or the web interface?

I wasn't the original author and probably also no project maintainer, so
I guess that's why my email had no effect. Can we enable some kind of
error response for such cases?
