Good to know about the /raw mode of gmane.

I have also my own copy of the patches, but the thing is that the control I use here to know
what patches are still pending is based on patchwork. With pathwork.kernel.org broken,
my legs are also broken :/

After finishing to apply the current stuff there, I intend to think on another process that
won't make me dependent on a software/hardware where I cannot rely on it, nor fix the issues
directly. So, I'm thinking on abandoning the usage of patchwork, but the point is: what other
alternatives are left?
