First of all, sorry for the late reply. I haven't had a chance to catch
up with this mailing list yet.

But yeah, I have been needing similar tool for my kernel maintainer
duties so I started to work on a prototype script:

https://github.com/kvalo/pwcli

It's ugly, and I'm learning python while writing it, but it already
helps to keep my sanity with the amount of patches I'm dealing with.
Hopefully one day it'll have a nice GUI frontend and I don't need to
touch the patchwork web interface at all, but that's far far far away
and at the current state I doubt the script is useful to anyone else but
me.

Here's a real life example from earlier today while I was going through
my patch queue:
