The proposed entry type is somewhat redundant:
- L: contains the development list of a subsystem. Patchwork is fed
from those lists. Patchwork users look at the few known patchwork
sites (the original one at ozlabs.org, the newer one at kernel.org)
and see all the lists that are hosted there.
- Projects with a web site, listed in their W: entry, almost certainly
document there where their patchwork site is, if they use one.
