All lists which do use patchwork are listed on patchwork.kernel.org and
patchwork.ozlabs.org.  So, add a paragraph on them in
Documentation/HOWTO and you are done.

The listings at patchwork.kernel.org and patchwork.ozlabs.org are always
current.  Your manual copy in the kernel source won't be.

See?  I just saved you and others quite some time.  You could spend it
for example to helpgetting our regressions count down.

Useless micropatches do _not_ make one look productive.
