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.
