Hi Thomas,

thanks for a quick info!

I'm interested to improve our LTP patchwork instance on ozlabs
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/list/
There are many project hosted, so direct modification isn't possible.
The easiest way would be to host our own instance ourselves, but we don't want.
I might extend patchwork DB schema to allow setup custom HTML snippet for
particular instance (long term solution and button is less important than S/W/F).

Thanks for pointing to this script. I suppose either your solution or REST API
requires using cron, so this might force us to move from ozlabs to self hosting
patchwork instance.

Kind regards,
