Is the single patch should be picked manually, from the PatchWork?
If it is, then this is work that custodian does.
Can a custodian pick a patch from the mailing list
(say if PatchWork is down or whatever)?
If yes, then this is also the work that custodian does.

For my understanding, the delivery ends with *unique commit id*
in some repository, which then can get pulled, but has history intact.

Nevertheless, it is a meter of choice, that should be made.
I'm fine with any choice we will make.
