I agree that we don't consider this case at all currently and that it's
causing some pain.

MIME parsing is mind-boggling.  Trying to figure out *one* patch file
from an email is already pretty difficult.  Trying to figure out more
than one might be nightmarish.  Maybe Magnus will contradict me and say
it's trivial to do -- that'd be great.

I don't have any great ideas for how to support this; I'd say it would
be something like the CF entry has sub-entries one for each patch in the
series, that can be closed independently.  This probably involves
surgery to the CF database and app which I'm not volunteering to write,
however.  Django-enabled contributors speak up now ...
