These definitely seem like a family of related problems.  I'd like to
use git-series as a format for storing iterations on things like GitHub
pull-requests or Gerrit patch versions (in the latter case, overcoming
Gerrit's limitations on only handling one patch at a time).  Integrating
reviews with that seems helpful.

Worth noting here that Gerrit's one patch per change format isn't
intrinsic to Notedb, since we just need to track the sha we want
to merge and optionally the branch we intend to merge into.

Note that Gerrit started to lose the "one patch at a time" notion.
It is possible to at least submit multiple changes coupled together
(even across project boundaries) via the topic. Some sort of cover
letter is missing though, that could be used e.g. for the merge commit.

Potentially my misuse of the format but git-candidate puts the cover
letter into the body of the commit message before the footers begin,
for each new patchset added to the change. This has the advantage
that you can track each version of the cover letter,
since there's one per patchset.
