Hello Adolf,

thanks for your message.

Yes, marking patches as being superseded if their author submits a new version of them is
a manual task. (Sometimes, Patchwork also looses track and marks staged or applied patches
as still being "new". We unfortunately never really figured out why that is. :-/ )

Personally, I am going through my patches listed at Patchwork every now and then, and add
labels (superseded, applied, etc.) to patches needing them. Not sure if someone else besides
me does this, but since Michael will have that entire enormous blob in his inbox sooner or
later, I guess cleaning that list up a bit helps. :-)

I am surprised to learn your IPFire people credentials don't work there. Mine do...

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
