This is to be the definitive guide to working with Patchworks as an Ubuntu kernel team member.
What
Patchworks is a web based application that helps track and process patches that have been submitted to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list (kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com). By using this tool the kernel team hopes to reduced the amount of effort that goes into reviewing kernel patches, to handle the patches in a more consisten manner and to reduce the chance that a patch will be missed or forgotten.
Where
Patchworks is hosted by ozlabs.org. The url for Patchwork is http://patchwork.ozlabs.org. The list of patches for the Ubuntu kernels is shown at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ubuntu-kernel/list/. Anyone can look at the individual patch sumissions, who submitted the patch, who is reviewing the patch and the current state of the patch.
Access
The first step in gaining access to process the patches is to create an account. In the right hand corner of the web page title are links to "login", "register" and "about". Click on the "register" link and fill out the form that your presented with to get an account.
