I wait for complete integration of `b4 review tui` with Patchwork (it
misses a few bits for me) and then even Patchwork won't be an excuse. :)

I agree though that if you have a working and correct flow, then b4 is
not necessary a requirement. For example where people should switch to
b4 is a maintainer who doesn't send any notification of applied patch
and contributor has no clue what is happening.
