Having said that, if you ever find yourself wanting Just One Feature in
`--rebase-merges` that would make it worthwhile for you to think about
switching your patch-based workflow to a `rebase -ir`-based one, please
let me know, and I will try my best to accommodate.

I missed a mention of 'patch' here when I prepared my earlier reply.
I do not expect "rebase -ri" to play any role in the part of the
workflow that accepts patches from the mailing list.

The involvement of "rebase -ri" (vs Meta/Reintegrate) is purely what
happens after a topic is queued and starts to get tested with other
topics on integration branches, and no "patch based workflow" plays
any role there---it does not make any sense to base that part on
anything but merge (and possibly cherry-picking an evil merge from
an earlier round).
