That's already included in the manual. See:

"Patchwork

    Patchwork is a web-based patch tracking system designed to
facilitate the contribution and management of contributions to an
open-source project. Patches that have been sent to a mailing list are
'caught' by the system, and appear on a web page. Any comments posted
that reference the patch are appended to the patch page too. For more
information on Patchwork see http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/."

Already included in v2:

Vincent.
