Currently in Patchwork, individual patches can have a reported test state (or a
Check, as it's referred to in the docs).  I couldn't find anything in this
series that affects this, what are your thoughts on moving that functionality
from a patch model to a series model?  Any kind of tests run on a patch are
typically focused on the entire series.
