[U-Boot] pending patches website

Hi Mike,

No, it is not gone, it only starts to bitrot :(  

It also never by itself grabbed patches, but the idea was to post the
patches to its own email account which in turn sent acknowledgements to
the mailinglist _including_ a unique tracking number which was needed
for automatic handling of follow-up mail.

Unfortunately the original implementor is not available anymore and we
currently do not see how to finish the missing bits, especially the
automatic handling of the status of patches.

If someone on this list with (solid) Perl knowledge volunteers to pick
up the strings, let me know offlist.

Cheers
  Detlev
