I don't know how to get this into Thunderbird. I would expect that
you could get some basic patch tracking by using the labels (via the
1/2/3 keys).
With an open storage format such as Maildir, it should be too hard to
script something that gives you a list of patches which have no
follow-ups.

That is really a local thing. Not sure how to get patches out of the
Thunderbird mail store, though.

I view this as completely unrelated. Anyone can pipe posted patches
into some CI tool and post the results *today*.
