Cannot filter patches without any delegate

[tmonjalo]

I was using a very convenient feature in the old patchwork that I cannot find in the version 1.1:

In the filter box, the delegate field can be filled on completion only. It would be more convenient to list the possible values in the drop-down (i.e. people who had some patches delegated to them) but it is not really my issue.
More importantly, I would like to be able to find the patches which are not delegated at all.
Is there a way to do this please?

I guess it is related to the call $('#delegate_input').selectize() in patchwork/templates/patchwork/filters.html and in patchwork/filters.py? Is allowEmptyOption of selectize to be considered?
There is also a bug entry for this option:
selectize/selectize.js#739

Also, the filter box is cleared (last selection lost) when changing the current filter.

I'm also missing the feature to be able to find patches which have not been delegated. Before patchwork.kernel.org was updated to v2.1.0 I was able to find such patches with this link:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?state=1&delegate=-&order=date

But after the upgrade it doesn't work anymore, the list is just empty. In linux-wireless project we have multiple maintainers and this was a handy way for me to daily check and find all unassigned patches and assign them to the correct maintainer. This feature was really useful for me and I hope to get it back.

Likewise, I am not able to work out how to filter patches which have not been delegated. This has created a hole in my workflow.

@kvalo @horms @geertu Yup, I just need to find the time to figure this out. JS isn't my strong point 😞 If any of you know a good JS dev who'd have time to look at this in the interim, I can definitely explain where I think the issue lies (I just haven't figured out how to fix it yet)

Thanks

This is included in v2.1.3 too. You probably want to update to that, @tmonjalo
