lkml.org has something similar, I think - at least it tries to identify
patches?
One caveat with using patchwork for this, perhaps: in my experience,
patchwork sometimes (though really rarely) drops patches, I think due
to unexpected encodings. So if patchwork isn't part of the patch
application process, not all patches that get applied might actually be
archived in patchwork.
