Technically yes, but in practice it doesn't seem that useful in the
context of glibc because it has the same problems that patchwork has:
- We don't use git-send-email consistently, which often breaks patchwork
mail processing and I suspect it will be the same for b4
- Patches in replies but without changing the subject line
- New versions are rarely sent in reply to the previous version, atleast
as far as I could tell from a quick skim of the code.
In other words, b4 (as does patchwork) has pretty stringent patch email
formatting requirements that we don't enforce.
