Since patchwork2 is new and might still occasionally have such a
problem, I though of a way to recover these...

If we keep an archive of the list, we can use patchwork hashing feature
to basically generate hashes for all patches in the archive over the
last N month, and then use the patchwork client interface to check if
they are all indeed referenced there. If not, we can then re-inject
them.

Typically a tool that could be used after we fix that sort of bug.
(There have been a couple of other similar ones related to weird
encodings in the past).

Cheers,
Ben.
