Oh, nice! I was hacking around trying to get a better looking series
name. Basically, unioning the flags and taking the name (without the
[foo] stuff) so that it would look like:

series: change a method

but in the webui, you'd be able to see colored lozenges that are the
labels / tags / whatever you want to call them. My end goal was to have
a new page that just lists the series (instead of the patches)
augmented with a few labels.

Does that sound like something people would be interested in here?
