I am curious: More and more people send introduction patches for individual
patches. I don't see any value in it, the intro patch is not available
in patchwork, and thus the context is missing when trying to review the
patch from there. This makes reviews much more difficult if one doesn't
reply directly to the patch. It doesn't make any sense to me, yet people
do it more and more.

Where is it suggested to send introduction patches for single-patch series,
and what is the rationale ?

Thanks,
