Research direction
Start by tracing how incoming messages are matched by Message-ID and how the patch detail view presents project and status data. Define the cross-project linkage and verify that cross-posted patches show links and appropriate Accepted, Changes Requested, or Rejected warnings without consolidating them into a single copy.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
If a patch is cross-posted to two lists, it would be nice to indicate this in the UI so that maintainers on each side are aware that a patch is being seen on another list.
The easiest way to do this would probably be to add a ManyToMany and match incoming messages against any existing instances of that Message-ID in other projects. Then add appropriate links on the patch detail view, perhaps with a nice big warning if one of the other projects has marked it Accepted/Changes Requested/Rejected.
We may want to consider just keeping a single unified copy of a patch, but that would be a major behaviour change, and it's not clear to me exactly how we would make that work such as to keep a sensible maintainer workflow. But perhaps worth thinking about longer term.
