Ah, I understand your situation better now. So, what if we imagine that there's an imaginary web tool that does this: 1. Allows people to generate an account 2. Verifies their email address 3. Instructs people how to generate a patch or series of patches 4. Gives a way to upload generated patches 5. Runs checkpatch to make sure there are no errors 6. Runs get_maintainer to find out where the patch(es) should be sent to 7. (Does more imaginary magic, such as looking up message-id references) 8. Mails it out Would that be useful or solve any problems? Or would that, on the contrary, create more problems than it solves? -K
