OK, to help me properly model the workflow, is there ever a situation in which
you would:

- accept patches 1-3 from v1
- request changes for patches 4-5
- wait for v2 with those changes
- apply patches 4-5 from v2

In my mind, this was always a "send a follow-up series with just those 2
patches" -- should we even support the workflow as described above?
