Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how cover letters and patch series are parsed and represented, then trace the merge and testing workflow. Done means dependency lines can identify unmerged patch series and those dependencies are considered before merging and testing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

<imre> damien_l: would be nice if we could add "Dependency: <patchset url>" lines to cover letters for unmerged-yet dependencies

This can be used to merge the dependent series before merging the one in question and so be able to properly test it.
