I don't use an automatic hook, no. I used to have one, but it wasn't
working well when the patch was changed compared to the one in
patchwork. I know Peter now uses git notes to solve this problem, but I
haven't implemented a similar solution.

Since when I'm done with a patch I anyway have to look again at the
list of patches to pick the next one to work on, it's not a big deal to
mark as Accepted the patch(es) I just applied.

As I said to my reply to Joris, there is in fact a newer upstream for
libnet, hosted at github. But it did not build nicely out of the box,
so I gave up and reverted back to the version used by Joris.

Right. Can you submit a patch doing that? Either you or Joris?

Thanks,
