Patch v1 not set to 'superseded' when replying to <message-id> with v2.

I'm using git version 2.46.0. The manual says the following is the
correct way to use the '--in-reply-to' option:

git send-email --in-reply-to=<message-id>

I have applied to master, because it fixes a bug in the doc. But on my
side, I am not a big fan of subsequent iterations being sent as a reply
to the previous iteration. I know it has the advantage that patchwork
marks the previous iteration as Superseded, but I find it a bit
annoying on the mailing list.

What do other BR maintainers think?

I too am not fond of threaded iterations, and I prefer a new thread be
opened for each iteration.

If submitters are going as far as to use --in-reply-to, then can as well
reference the original thread in the post-commit changelog, or in a
cover-letter.

I also like to have such a reference, as I can go and skim over the
previous reviews to assess the changes. So, an automatically-superseded
patch(set) in patchwork is rather detrimental to my workflow, in fact.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
