Hi Kyle, I have not tried your patch, yet. And I have questions about tooling, maybe it is not the right place to do so.

You mean ’b4’ filters out the 2 Ludo’s messages when applying the 2 patches, right? In this case, ’b4’ will also fetch the patches from yhetil.org, right? If exposes (somewhere?) the Message-ID (as we have discussed [1]), then one user could browse, copy the Message-ID that they is interested and paste locally as you explain above; without the need to subscribe or use Emacs-Debbugs. Right? BTW, I think that base commit should be strongly encouraged when submitting patches. See [2] :-) 1; 2: > If the above sounds useful to you but you'd prefer to work in Emacs, you > might be interested in piem (), which > includes a transient (i.e magit-popup's successor) interface to b4. I have not tried either. Is it packaged for Guix? Well, does b4 and piem works with worktree? Currently, I am using Emacs and Notmuch. I have subscribed to guix-patches and when I try a patch, I do: | git gam the-branch-worktree where ’gam’ is just ’-C ~/src/guix/wk/ am -3 --reject’. And depending on the thread structure, sometimes I have to go patch by patch. Using b4+piem, then reading the message, I will do ’M-x piem-b4-am’ and whatever the thread structure, the patches sent as “in-reply-to“ will be applied. Right? (Aside messages including non inlined patches, if I read correctly the doc.) All the best, simon
