Threads are good.  But one thread per version of a series is better than
one thread for ALL versions of the series, as documented in our patch
submission guidelines:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch

Since most of contributors are already doing that, most reviewers have
gotten into the habit of assuming that any replies to a series are in
regards to things to fix, rather than looking for a new version of the
series.  I'd rather kill several threads for versions of a series, then
later learn that a new revision of the series needs my review; than kill
a single thread, at which point I no longer see any new versions in my
inbox but also lose any chance to be easily pulled back in to that topic.
