Patch tagging/classification

[Ruslan Kuprieiev]

Hi All,

Btw, is patchwork able to group several patches from one patchset?
I.e. typical git-send-email structure:
[PATCH 00/03] intro
     |-[PATCH 01/03] first
     |-[PATCH 02/03] second
     |-[PATCH 03/03] third
I'm asking here, because it might be related to tagging/classification 
topic.
One of the scenarios where it might be handy is using patchwork to
automatically test mailing list patches.

Thanks,
Ruslan
