Patchwork may incorrectly identify emails containing patch-like content as patches. For example: https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/134627/ Patchwork must only consider as patches those messages that include the [PATCH.*] prefix in the subject.
Patch can be view in: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2017-January/033761.html it is being tested in staging instance at: https://patchwork-staging.openembedded.org/
Patrick suggested in [1] that patch should also rule out email messages with a subject line that do not start with an approved OE-layer prefix (for example: "Re: " and "Fwd: "). I've requested feedback for this approach [2] before implementing a test in the staging instance.

A v2 patch can be seen in https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2017-January/033835.html this is implemented for testing in the staging instance: https://patchwork-staging.openembedded.org/
This has been implemented in production patchwork: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/patchwork/commit/?id=1a096ecdec71ad20e47af075e0126f77c54e7ec9
