In my experience, patchwork states are only touched by maintainers of a project.
I don't know if there is one globally accepted policy for patches states in pw.


In DPDK, we ask, in the contributors guide, that submitters update
their series with the "superseded" state.
The other states are manipulated by maintainers to sync (mainly the
"awaiting upstream") or to hide older patches (like the "archived"
state for resolved, as in accepted or rejected, patches sent in
previous releases).
I know some maintainers do set the "Under review" state, but this is
not done by everyone.
