More broadly: should Patchwork move in the direction of being more than 
a status tracker? I think there's some interesting tools that could be 
developed to make the life of a developer easier when it comes to 
actually conducting the activity of code review itself with patches - 
but (a) I'm not sure Patchwork is the right place to do that, (b) we now 
expose an API which could be very useful for building such tools 
separately while utilising all the existing email handling logic in 
Patchwork, and (c) we already have enough of a backlog when it comes to 
fixing bugs and adding new features relating to the core job of just 
tracking emails.
