I don't have an effective workflow for managing incoming patches. I
use a hodge-podge of patchwork, gmail, mutt, and ugly private scripts
to put patches on topic branches, review them, polish them, merge them
together into a "-next" branch, generate pull requests, etc.

I wish there were a collection of the workflows and scripts people
use, maybe even in the kernel sources so they could be shared and
improved. Some short screencasts could help visualize and pull things
together. I know a lot of this stuff is "out there" somewhere, but
I'm not aware of any organized collection.
