Yes, I know. I think Pasky's tool is a clever hack, but I never expected it to be comprehensive in its results. At the GitTogether, we discussed some interesting ideas for tracking the mailing list and showing a more patch-oriented view, but those would be a lot of work, and I am not volunteering to do it right now.

What I meant by my comment was that I am not too concerned with tweaking my workflow to help Pasky's tool.
