The patch/series split is a bit awkard at times. I made sure to not
remove any functionality: Everything that is here today stays here. The
delegate field on patches is still there. It does mean we can have a
"series" reviewer or a "patch" delegate at the same time.

I think it's fine to have both. Projects do things slightly differently
after all. We could have a mechanism on top to, per-project, hide the
column(s) that are not useful for that project maybe?
