another problem is that the patch system is for reviewed patches only.
If the patch is forgotten before it gets some reply sending it to the
patch system is wrong (at least for non-trivial patches).

Patchwork comes to mind. That doesn't forget patches.
I think for that to be practical for lakml some automatic delegation
would be needed though.

Best regards
Uwe
