I don’t recall coming across the patch series (e.g. the 1/5 email patches) in 
other projects. In other projects people post a single patch and then update it 
following feedback on the same review. This can be either in a single, rebased 
commit, or new commits on a bug/feature branch - review systems deal with both.

I’d certainly be happy to use Github, but I do worry about tieing ourselves to 
such a closed system.
