Yep, I agree. When I am looking at a series, the context is fresh in my
mind and if there are small fixes I can write them and send quickly. I
would be less likely to wade through a database, since it is a lot
harder to build the mental context. But then I work with subsystems that
get far fewer patches than something like networking so the noise isn't
that much of a problem for me.

Maybe you can visually separate the pre-exsiting issues (perhaps also
allow filtering?) so people can quickly see the problems with the patch
and don't always have to parse the rest?
