Research direction
Start by opening the Patchwork series list URL and compare it with the linked cover-letter message URLs. Trace how the series page presents its patches and determine where the cover letter can be included without requiring its message number. Done means a series display links to or shows its cover letter directly.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Patch series are typically sent with cover letters, e.g.:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/cover/20211104035516.28268-1-samuel@sholland.org/
for patches
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/cover/20211104035516.28268-2-samuel@sholland.org/
to
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/cover/20211104035516.28268-7-samuel@sholland.org/
Patchwork as installed on https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/ can show the patches of a series, e.g.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=270325&state=%2A&archive=both
But it is not possible to display the cover-letter without knowledege of the message number of the email.
Please, add the cover-letter to the display of a patch series.
