That is actually part of the problem, I've commented on this in the past.

The transitions (for example from New -> Changes Requested) happen:
- with no notification (via email or otherwise), thus requiring
periodic manual monitoring of patchworks web ui (is there a better
way?)
- with no idea who made the change
- with no idea what 'changes' were actually requested (sure sometimes,
this is indeed obvious, but not in this case for example).

Ack, that's what I assumed.  Sorry for the mess.
