RFC/slightly offtopic: Automatic patchwork status updates

Personally, I use the git web server on kernel.org to see if my patches
are in a particular tree.  I have a bookmark something like this:

http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git&a=search&h=HEAD&s=Jeremy+Kerr

This may not solve all the problems you are trying to solve with
patchworks though.
