  patch checker already tries to do this, it detected around 500
  obsolete patches which got resent one way or another. Basically if
  the author is the same and the patch title is similar, it will assume
  the later patch is obsoleting the former one.

  Not so sure I want to push that as email. We know where the list
is, sending a reminder to the URL when entering freeze is IMHO more
useful than copying the list.

  yes presentation should be improved, I did the minimum.

  yes that is something I need to add as I stated, when people reply
with patches to be squashed in commit on ACK, patchchecker doesn't
detect it yet, that would be #1 improvement to make right now.
