This has been raised before, instead of just trying to match the diff
part of a patch (with a checksum), we could add heuristics on top. The
files touched, the subject of the commit, throwing a levenshtein
distance in the mix, ...

FWIW, I have been looking at patchwork for some time now and have ~100
patches on top of upstream. The main things are a new design (yey!) but
more importantly present series, not patches, to the user. I've also
done the start of versioning support (sending v2, v3 or patches or full
series) to present all the versions of a series in one place, etc.

There's a list of Issues to track what we want from patchwork as well:

  https://github.com/dlespiau/patchwork/wiki/TODO

I do have a plan of deploy that version of patchwork on FDO, but, well,
I'm not blocked on some configuration details where what I'd really like
is to have patchwork running into a virtualenv to control its
dependencies instead of having to rely on the distro packages. Haven't
made much progress on this front though...

Patchwork is very much a low priority for me, so progress is somewhat
slow, I'd still like to deploy it on fdo sometime soon :)
