ACK.

Would it be possible to send the author short message why the patch was 
auto closed/rejected (excluding the auto message from patchwork)?

Some of us discussed this during the OpenWrt Summit and IIRC we agreed 
that it would make sense and is desirable.

Also, a nice message explaining why this happens, maybe with short list 
of what the user can/should do afterwards, would save us time answering 
the same questions, especially on GitHub.
