Another Web<->Mailinglist extreme is Git themselves who have a Github bridge
for integration with their usual patch-on-mailinglist workflow.

Most web based platforms like Github register the patch against the tree at the
time of submitting, and won't refresh unless the user does so. Github does
detect bitrot and show a "this cannot be merged" error message, but it doesn't
alter any state on the PR etc.
