Yeah, so the not being able to send thanks is actually blocking the
usual flow - as well as not sending the thanks mail the tool doesn't
understand that you might have no intention of taking the remaining
patches at all so there's no way to say "I'm done with this now, send
the thanks", you can just archive the series or return it to reviewing.
