Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported case from the linked linuxppc-dev thread, where a seven-patch series is followed by a related 25-patch series. Trace the series parsing behavior that produces series 2303, 2306, and 2307; done means the two series are not incorrectly combined and the failure mode is no longer misleading.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
For some reason one of our contributors decided to post a series, and then reply to that series with another related series.
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2017-September/thread.html#163407
The original series had 7 patches, and the second series had 25.
The result in patchwork is a series of 25, combining the 7 patches form the first series, and then 8-25 from the second series. And then a single patch series for each of the remaining patches in the second series (1-7):
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=2303
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=2306
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=2307
I wouldn't suggest this is necessarily a behaviour patchwork should fully support, but it would be preferable if the failure mode wasn't quite so awkward. ie. Having the two series combined into one is pretty much the worst possible outcome.
