Or could we have a bug per module?  Then the whole patch series could be
sent to the bug id of the module.  But I guess this would make it harder
to keep track of individual package submissions again, because bug would
rarely ever be closed when there are lots of patches to the same module.

Outside of Emacs I only ever used Debbugs in read-only fashion.  The web
interface is not very pretty but it’s functional and looks better than
the default mailman interface.
