Btw, there are two cases that should likely be handled as well:

1) on a patch series with a patch 0/x, patches 1/x to x/x refers to
patch 0/x;

2) sometimes, someone sends an ack/nack/... tag to the a hole patch series,
replying to patch 0/x.

It would be really nice if patchwork server/database could handle both.
