Ok, but it is not script-able. So, I need to have an easy way to know when
a patch is still under discussion at the ML or if it is ready for merging.

I need something that I can write an script on my machine to update Patchwork
status and remove the stuff that are still under discussions from my pull queue.

On most cases, the level of detail between two revisions of the omap drivers
are due to some intrinsic details of the driver or the arch. So, it makes
no sense for me to keep checking all reviews. I would love to, but unfortunately
I have no spare time for it. That's why I prefer to review only the final revision,
when the patch is submitted.

The pull request is enough for me. I'll review when I receive it.

For the patches exchanged via the ML, I need some scriptable way to mark them
as RFC at the Patchwork. 

So, adding [RFC PATCH] or [PATCH RFC] works. It also works if you add something 
like [PATCH OMAP] or [PATCH OMAP V4L], and provided that all other contributors 
to the patches you'll be sending me a pull request do exactly the same.

I'll then write an specific script to mark those patches as RFC and remove from my
queue, until I receive your [PULL] request.

Cheers,
Mauro
