This is something PatchWork should be able to do.

Sorry, I cannot parse the last sentence.

Sounds like a suggestion for an extension to PW to me...
On the other hand, any such tool will fail in all cases where the
users do not strictly follow the rules. Trivial example: when people
post a new version of the patch without proper In-reply-to: and/or
References: headers no such tool will be able to associate any such
submission with the older patch(es) the new posting is supposed to
supersede. Just look at what PW looks like...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
