I'm not aware of such a thing, but what works pretty well for me is
to use stgit and selectively pull chunks to patches earlier in the
series and merge the top again.

So its something like:

- do lots of changes, commit on top of stack
- open in editor, pop patch
- create new patch, copy stuff from open editor
- commit
- go to top of stack again, merge
- repeat from step 2 until patch at top is empty

Its works quite fast since the merging goes really painlessly.
