Worth noting also is that Magnus is working on a new version of the commitfest app that will be able to automatically keep track of threads about patches --- so long as they *are* threads according to our mailing list archives. I'm not sure if the archives recognize replies with a changed Subject: as being the same thread or not.
The archives code does threading based on the headers (in-reply-to and references, in priority order). It completely ignores the subject when it comes to the threading.
