Indeed. I'd expect all replies to a given patch to be under that patch
and so on. This is what we present in the web UI so it probably makes
sense to do the same for the REST API. Unless there's a strong reason
_not_ to, this is the way I'd go, yeah.

Yup, I didn't do it because I wasn't sure how helpful it was. I'm a-ok
adding it though so go for it.

PS: You should probably put a 'comments' url in the 'patches' and
'covers' resources, similar to what we do for 'checks' of 'patches'.
