Thanks. "New" is ok - it's what I expect for patche that have not
been applied anywhere yet.

Switching to git makes perfect sense to me.

Using gerrit? Hm... All my work in this context is e-mail based, and
I think many others work in a similar way. Web-based tools may be
more "modern", but I have to admit that I am not convinced that they
are any more helpful or efficient.

OK, let's try it out. Which name should we use? [I don't want to use
"next" for this - we already use this name, in other context.]
