Hmm, as a youngster who's been around for twenty-something years only (my
first patch was for glibc, back in 1998) I haven't even heard of this
patch service before. It doesn't appear linked to our mailing list either
and instead you need to go through the hoops of a web interface (and open
an account first) to submit a change.

That's precisely what patchworks is for, which has been used to various
extent for the GNU C library, GCC and GDB already. All of which projects
are of similar vintage to DejaGnu and I reckon rather important for the
GNU project. Given that our main patch submission channel is e-mail,
what's the point in using a system that does not accept one?
