We've done some digging...

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/872845/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/872846/

These are the other two patches in the series, and yet patchwork has 
assigned them two different series, so evidently something screwy is 
happening there.

sfr took a look at the mail logs for us, it looks like:

- all 3 emails were received and processed by our SMTP system
- patch 2 was received first, and patches 1 and 3 were received during 
the same second a couple of seconds later

Patch 3 has not hit the database at all, it's possible we've hit some 
race condition somewhere that prevented it from being saved at the same 
time as patch 1, or perhaps we ran into something completely 
different... we're going to add some extra logging to see if we can 
capture more info next time this happens.

Many apologies for the inconvenience!


Andrew
