I just tried patchwork without Javascript and I can't even reach the
filtering form as it needs a bit of javacript to expand the "filters"
link!

I really really don't think patchwork web UI should consider being
usable without javascript in this day and age. For people that do not
want to use the Web with javascript enabled, I'd argue we should make
the other interface(s) (ie pwclient atm) useful enough (which is already
the case?) to replace the web UI instead of crippling the latter.
