PatchWork is a Web-based patch tracking system
designed to facilitate the contribution and
management of contributions to an open-source
project. Patches that have been sent to a mailing
list are 'caught' by the system and appear on a
Web page. Any comments posted that reference the
patch are appended to the patch page. The
project's maintainer can then scan through the
list of patches, marking each with a certain
state such as Accepted, Rejected, or Under
Review. Old patches can be sent to the archive or
deleted.
