Hi Shreyansh,

After my email I figured out your 2a). But yeah having to register/login was a nuisance 
and not very intuitive especially for people like me who had had no experience working
with patchwork or mailing lists before.

Echoing this. A section in the contributor guideline just like the one I followed when I
pushed my first patch would be very helpful indeed.

This is what I do:

1. Access http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/project/dpdk/list/ and search for patches from the author. This has all the patches posted to Mailing List - with their state (that is, for example, superseded if a series has been superseded with another version)

2. You have three options:
 a) Either select all patches (you will need to register/login) in a series and add to "bundle" and download that bundle as mbox
 b) Select individual patch and look for "download patch" or "download mbox" link and manually download them.
OR, one I use most frequently:
 b) Copy the link to patch (for example, http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/36473/) and append "mbox" to it (http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/36473/mbox)

Then,

$ wget <link or mbox file> -O - | git am

One can easily make a script which can do the steps (1)>(2b) above based on a given patch ID (last integer in the link to patch).

Maybe there is a better and efficient way - this is just what I do. :)

Maybe you can go ahead and send across a patch for a method you find best and efficient.
Others can add their way/suggestions and I am confident Thomas would be happy to accept a documentation improvement patch.
