Before sending out a new version of a series for review, it is important to add any review tags (e.g. Reviewed-by, Acked-by) collected by patchwork. Otherwise people waste time reviewing the same patch repeatedly, become frustrated and stop reviewing your patches.
To help with this, add a new 'status' subcommand that checks patchwork for review tags, showing those which are not present in the local branch.
This allows users to see what new review tags have been received and then add them.
Sample output: $ patman status 1 Subject 1 Reviewed-by: Joe Bloggs joe@napierwallies.co.nz 2 Subject 2 Tested-by: Lord Edmund Blackaddër weasel@blackadder.org Reviewed-by: Fred Bloggs f.bloggs@napier.net + Reviewed-by: Mary Bloggs mary@napierwallies.co.nz 1 new response available in patchwork
The '+' indicates a new tag. Colours are used to make it easier to read.
