This is ok,
I hoped the process would be less disruptive, but it appears no the
case, please ignore patchwork for now if it disrupts your work.
I'll keep it up to date and will see if I can make it grok also the
current way the freeipa-devel list works (ie handling multiple patches
per mail message).

I will give a heads up later once we are less loaded to try to
reintroduce it.

Simo.
