I noticed that the prototype is not yet licensed using an open source
license. It is good to do this right from the beginning by choosing a
license and clearly stating it.

Also about the UTF-8 limitation: Assuming that patches contain only
UTF-8 characters will not work, because there might even be patches that
contain for example both latin1 and UTF-8 characters, because they
change the encoding of some files. For the descriptive data before the
actual patch it is ok to assume UTF-8.

And for the patch tracker itself: The displayed information should
center on the patches itself, i.e. it is more important which patches
are included in Fedora at all than to find out which releases contain
which patches.

Kind Regards
Till
