I think we should be open to the idea of changing our process to some degree. To me, keeping track of patch series, in terms of grouping as well as iterations of the patch series, would be a great feature worth some changes in our procedures. To go even further, I am not necessarily attached to making email-based interaction the primary way of discussing an email. I know many people are, and I am not advocating for one way or the other, but just trying to show that this isn't an obvious requirement to me. -- Joel
